OK i'm about to order my new setup, just wanted alittle confirmation on the ram choice. The build consists of a 640 3.2ghz on a AA8XE board. XP-120 with delta 3 blade, 800xl video, 530 fortron psu. For the ram I'm looking at 4 sticks of this (http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=20-145-529&catalog=23&manufactory=BROWSE) . I know the latency is kindof high, but will this be ok with the cpu ocing to 3.8-4.0ghz? If not is there another route I can go while still going for 2 gigs of ram. Also how will the dual channel do with the 2 extra sticks of 512? Hope that made sense.
Thanks

I am NOT impressed at all with the Corsair VS I have right now. I've had it less than a month and plan on replacing it. It won't run stable @ stock (DDR400) under 2.8v, and overclocking it is a joke.

avoid the value select and get some pc4000 so you can run 1-1
