Hi all, I've been pouring over threads here looking for ram info for my new build.I'm going from Intel to Amd.I haven't done Amd since the T-Bird days.Currently I'm running a P4 3.2e @ 4.0 with water and a 226w pelt, Abit IC7-G, and 4x256 sticks of Geil Platinum PC4000 2.5 4 4 7 at 1:1.Video is 9800 Pro.Overclocking was easy and system runs smooth as butter and is very stable.
Now its time to upgrade.Gaming is the pure goal of this rig.CPU will be SD 3700+,
4000+, or FX-55.MB a DFI NF4 Ultra-D, Cooling the CPU a Chilly Modded Mach 1 r404a so I'll be pushing for the highest stable overclock I can get of course. Video a BFG 7800 GTX, and a PPC 510 SLI PSU.Now where I'm stuck is the ram.I'm thinkin 1 gig as I understand 2x1 gig sticks won't clock as high as 2x512 correct?Now from what I've read these DFI boards are picky and it seems
like pc3200 with tight timings is the way to go? So I've been looking at G. Skill, OCZ, and Mushkin so far.If money were'nt an object as far as ram goes what would you guys reccomend considering the other parts I just spec'd out.Thanks!
