Welcome everyone!
Have been a silent reader for some time but decided to register since I have some quick questions before I'll order everything . Forgive my english cause its not my native language.
So I'm planning on getting a new rig for myself and use it for games and making 3d animations.
Plans are to get the following:
DFI Lanparty UT nF4 Ultra-D Mainboard
Athlon 4400+ x2
Fortron BlueStorm 500W ATX
Alphacool High End Kit HTF 12Volt
Some temp. vidcard probably until the R520 is out.
I want to OC that dualcore badly so I think I made a good choice with these parts I think?
I also want to get 2GB of ram...
That's where I need you guys. What memory should i get? (2x 1gb, 4x512?)
I've seen sooo many threads here and different memorysettings/chips etc. that I have no idea what to get. With the watercooling I'm getting, I'm hoping to reach a 275-300Mhz with the memory. Now when I look at several shops I see expensive PC3200 which according to some people should overclock well. I also see PC4200, PC4800 etc. which is memory which runs at that speed garantueed? Anyway I'm willing to spend about 400 euro (about $500-550) for those 2GB's that will o/c without any problems.
I know questions like these are probably asks many times, but it would really help me to hear from the pro's what to get.
