new rig some help

I bought a new rig . This is it how is it http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...20028957327&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWN:IT&rd=1 and what memory should i get . links please i dont know the difference between all this new memory .I know it takes DDR2. Sorry to be so ignorant but the last new rig i bought was a abit AN7 w/ mobile 2500+. I will be ocing this rig but not drasticly

Depends, what are you going to use your rig for? Just web browsing, chat, email, etc? If so, then a 512x2 kit for 1gig should be fine. If your going to be playing any games, multi tasking, editing, etc, 2 gigs is what you need.

Whats your budget?

If overclocking, look for TeamGroup sticks of ram, you can find them over at tankguyz.biz (seems to be down for me right now). But, genernaly Corsair is very good ram, and so is OCZ.

Some games (C&C red alert 2) nothing crazy. Downloading movies music school work ect.What fsb should the ram be also.. I just hate when I start multi tasking like playing mygamesand D/Ling torrents and my pc starts bogging drasticly. Also seeing this is a fairly new cpu how does it oc?

that isnt real multitasking anyway. Those games and what you will be doing on the pc, you wont need more than 1gb of ram. Look for Dual channel kits (2x512mb) of OCZ or Corsair.

That sounds like it will be a nice setup for your needs, but I wouldn't count on it OCing much at all. ECS isn't exactly known for their extreme clocks....

Also, if you plan on buying a 7 series geforce or anything at that level you're probably going to need to replace the PSU as well.

look for 800mhz ram, since thats what 1:1 runs it at on an AM2 system

Yeah, unless you are playing new games, or doing some heavy multi tasking, 1gb is fine for memory.

and like hitbyparkedcar said, go with 800mhz for the speed =D
