I am planning on buying a Shuttle XPC (SB95PV2) and it has a P4 925XE chipset. So it uses DDR-2.
I am pretty unfamiliar with DDR-2 and the only thing I know is it costs more than DDR without giving much advantage (if any). But I am going to invest on 2Gb RAM and I wouldnt want it to be DDR since it will phase out soon...
I mean, in 2 years time, if I want to upgrade I don't want my RAM to be useless...and 2Gb is a lot of RAM, so I wouldn't wanna invest on DDR right now...
So I want 2x1gb DDR2 but I want it to be as cheap as possible and in a european shop...
So far the cheapest I have found is A-data Vitesta 1gb PC2-4200 which goes for 444e incl. VAT.
Is there any cheaper choice out there?
Also, since current CPUs are 200FSB, I think 533 DDR2 will be enough for a next upgrade... The 925XE supports 266FSB, so I guess I could put a new processor in a couple of years in there that is native 266FSB and the RAM will be able to run sync again....right?
