Hey,
I'm about to buy my new rig (see sig, "future setp").
Now I need a fast answer to these questions:

1. Basicly any RAM should work at his marked speed?, I mean for example GeiL Pc3200 should work at 200 FSB shouldn't it?
2. I can't afford the Corsair's what's one level lower?
3. Help my fix the ram for my Rig, here are the must have:
a. will work at 200FSB for sure!
b. lifetime warrenty!
c. cheap, like 120$-130$ max!
d. 512 Mb on it.


That's it folks :D

I'd assemble and test out the next system first using existing memory, so you get an idea how high the FSB can go, since nforce2 AMD boards have a wide range of top FSB, from 180 to 230+ MHz.

If you decide the top FSB (whatever you can do to overclock) is around 200, there are many 3200C2 to choose from. But if it can go up to 210-220 or beyond, then I'd get a Corsair 3500C2 which is spec'd at 217 MHz 6-3-3-2.
