Get a gig for him. You will notice it later when games get more intense.

Well you can always get PC4200 or higher. That will allow for a very high FSB. Besides P4 really dont care about timings.

He will NEVER play games (just internet, chat, music, etc). All I need is 512MBs. Now I don't know if I need to get 1 stick of 512 or 2 sticks of 256. The processor will be a 3.0 and I want the memory that will allow me an OC of at least 3.4

Samsung TCCD's will run 2.5-3-3-7 at 250FSB - well mine is.. You might go for a 512MB kit of the low latency PQI stuff.. At least you would have very flexible memory.

You gotta go with a 2 x 256MB kit so you can take advantage of dual channel.

Buy some cheap pc3200. If he is never going to game, I wouldn't worry about high fsb RAM. Set the divider to 5:4 and he could run 250 fsb with a 2.8C no problem.
