Sorry, I'm sure these pages are full of 'what ram do I get' questions but I really could use the help!
The last time I built a PC EDO RAM was new. I'm completely bewildered by all the choices on offer today. Just how many ways are there to buy 1gb??
Like I say I'm putting a machine together. The shopping list so far looks like this (not bought anything yet so if something's 'wrong' let me know):
AMD64 3800 socket 939
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum Nforce3 motherboard
Some form of Nvidia 6800 ultra.
And 1gb of Ram.
I'd initially decided on 'Corsair DDR XMS3200C2PT TwinX (2x512)' for about £170 (about $310), but from reading various forums everyone seems to have vastly more expensive memory. So I'm just looking for a little advice and explanation.
I've never been mad into overclocking but I'd like to have the option to maybe tweak it a little bit.
So thanks for any advice you can give me on which memory to get.
**Update: I'm hearing a lot of good things about the Ballistix
