I want to pick up a gig of ram to replace my current stick.. with a $160-180 budget (let me know if something's MUCH BETTER for only $20-40 more or so, might be able to stretch that if I need) what's best to pick up for my rig? I want to run a 200+ FSB speed, the higher the better of course . Should I stretch my budget thin and go for the Kingston HyperX 1gb Dual Kit PC3000 at newegg which is supposed to be BH-5, or is there a decent alternative I can use instead and keep some change in my pocket for UT2k4 once it's out on Monday? Thanks in advance for your help! My specs are below to help you out !
EDIT: Is this RAM good? My BH-5 stick from Buffalo rocked, is CH-5 any good or is it to be avoided? http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=20-150-564&depa=1
