2 gigs of ram cheap ram, or 1 gig of high quality ram?

Grav

Thanks.

You only need high quality ram if you plan on overclocking or changing your CAS speeds. If you plan on staying at the standard clocks then go with the cheap ram. Feel free to disregard my post if it was a direct question for Grav. Have fun with your new PC Insolence

There's a difference between "High quality" and "High bandwidth."

You don't need 2GB yet. Stick with 1GB until your next system.

Get a 32bit system plus 8gb of ram, and then you'll realize you got 4gb extra, and you can send the extra to me.

and then Randuin can make a computer program to be funny for him!



But Grav, also, no AMD 64 boards support Dual Channel, so what memory should I go with now?

I plan to overclock.

Only with the 754 sockets. All 939 sockets support dual channel.

My bad, I didn't realize that.

Dual Channel is mostly a gimmick, it provides very little difference. Also dual channel ram runs fine in 754 boards.
