I'm looking into buying 1GB of ram soon, and I'm not sure exactly what I should look for when choosing the ram. The RAM will be used primarily for heavy gaming, like BF2, CoD2, and other games. With BF2, I've been getting 'low virtual memory' things, and all in all, I would like a 1GB stick of ram. I currently have 512mb. What kind of timings should I look for? Also, what's with the registered and unbuffered ram? Later on in the year, I'm sure I'll upgrade my mobo and processor. Any specific brands that are reliable for heavy gaming? The amount I can spend is about $175. I have an AMD Athlon XP 3200+.
