Well, I don't feel like giving myself a headache trying to figure out all the differences between the different types of ram because I know in the end they are all going to work anyway, some just better then others. So I have two questions.
1) Most motherboards, including mine, say that they only support a max speed of PC3200, yet for quite a while now there have been sticks of memory that go far beyond PC3200. The question: will faster sticks of ram work in my motherboard even though it says the max is PC3200? And if so then why?
2) What is YOUR choice for the most overclockable and highest performing brand/type of ram?
The second question is simply to help me decide which brand and type of memory to buy. Whichever type of ram gets the most votes is the type I will buy. The reason I'm doing this is simple. I'm lazy... Anyway, thanks!
I forgot to mention that I need 1 Gig sticks since I only have three ram slots on my MB and I would like to max it out.
