I'm going to build an AMD64 system (3000+ Venice E6) and get new RAM.
I did a search on newegg and narrowed it down to these two:
OCZ Performance Series 1GB (2 x 512MB)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16820227031
CORSAIR XMS 1GB (2 x 512MB)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16820145450
As you can see, I do not want to spend too much.
They're both 2-3-3-6. I looked at this memory database:
http://www.techpowerup.com/memdb/
I don't know what revision the Corsair XMS is, and they don't have OCZ's "Performance Series." Furthermore, upon looking at OCZ's website, the "Performance Series" is *underneath* the "Value Series." This confuses me (I thought Value Series was the lowest quality?).
Any ideas on which is the better buy? Or do would you suggest other RAM? The motherboard I'm considering is an Asus A8N-E capable of up to 3.0V on the RAM.
