I'm getting an old system back up and running and the last thing I need is RAM.
Parts are:
Asus A7N8X
Athlon XP 2500+
Silverstone ST56ZF power supply
ATI X850Pro 256mb
The system will be used for mild gaming in BF2 and other games like it, I don't need crazy resolution so this system will suffice. It MAY see a mild OC but since I've never OC'd before, it will be mild.
I was reading the stickies and have decided to go with PC3200, and I want to spend in the $100-125 range. In the stickies this particular ram was suggested:

Is there any reason to get 1 x 1GB stick instead of a paired 2 x 512 sticks?
Any other ram that you guys might say is significantly better in this price range $100-125, for a stock or mild OC on an old system?
