Quote:I'd recommend 2x1GB at the minimum, and 2x2GB if possible at this point. Prices on DDR2 are dropping like a rock. My preferred brands are Corsair and Mushkin.Yes, I forgot to mention I'll be going with 2x1GB. There's also this "low latency" business that has 4-4-4 timing as opposed to 5-5-5, but that doesn't seem like it is really important.
Quote:For the overclocking bit, more today you end up overclocking your entire system rather than just the CPU. Bump the FSB up and you bump the CPU and memory with it. Which one is your limit, you'll never know until you experiment.
Warning bells just went off in my head. "Some 600 W powersupply" does not sound good.
Heh, thanks for the tip. I have read that it needs to be qualty; mostly I meant that I haven't even gotten around to shopping a PSU yet except for knowing I will need at least 500 W.
