hi, i was thinking of getting Corsair 1GB DDR XMS3200XL Platinum TwinX (2x512MB) for a new a64 s939 rig, the timmings are rated at 2-5-2-2-t1, but i was just worried at 3200 it might not be fast enough to keep up with the a64 chip?

my budget for this ram is about £200, so any ideas on anything better at around that price? or is the corsiar perfect? cheers!

Probably the best RAM out now for the socket 939 platform is the OCZ EL PC3200 Platinum Edition Rev 2. It is made with Samsung TCCD chips that are DDR500. Most people are getting 275 1:1. Most of these high performance PC3200 sticks will OC like a banchee.
