How ya doin there? Good. Very good. How about you?
Im gonna be buying some pc3200 Golden dragon soon so i have a question or 2.
First of all is it good?I have not heard much about Geil, but I have not heard anything bad about it either. Honestly I really dont know. Sorry.
And also is there much need for 1gb rather than 2x256mb's ? Its only for gaming really. Well, 512mb is probably getting close to the minimum right now. If you want this to be your gaming rig for a while I would get 1gb, it really depends on how much you can afford. At the time when I got my ram 256mb was the equivilent of having 512 now, and it is starting to get pretty outdated, most of the latest games require a minimum of what I have and I beleive recomend 512. If you got 512, it would probably last a year before you needed a gig.
Its gonna be running in a nf2 board, probably an abit.
Also would there be any point in goin up to say pc3500? It depends, I personally would rather get 1GB PC3200 vs. 512 PC3500. It really depends if you are going to be overclocking a locked CPU. If you get one of those Mobile Bartons with unlocked multipliers, I would not worry about it too much.
I have super super cheap PNY PC2100 256mb and I actually get it up to 180Mhz from the stock 133Mhz going from 2.5Vdimm to 2.9. Im sure with some really good PC3200 you could get at least 220 Mhz out of it.
Good Luck!
