Ugh, I know I've done this many times, but it's so difficult. haha
I am close to purchasing my new system, but I am having trouble deciding which memory to purchase. I have a few memories in mind, including G.Skill LA, LE, and Mushkin Redline XP4000.
Although most say it is a great memory, I have heard a few people have had recent problems with G.Skill LA. I have also heard that many people are getting very good results with the Mushkin Redline XP4000 at extremely low timings. I do not want my memory purchase to be a hit or miss. I indefinitely want to get a high memory overclock (at least 285FSB) with decent timings (CAS 2.5 at least). Should I choose between Mushkin Redline XP4000 Redline, G.Skill LA, G.Skill LE, or something else? It's cheapest price from anywhere on the net must be under $275. Thanks.
Tentative specifications for my new system:
Processor – AMD Athlon 64 3000+ (Venice)
Motherboard – DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 Ultra-D
Memory – G.SKILL 1GB (2 x 512MB) F1-3200DSU2-1GBLA
Power Supply – SEASONIC S12 500W
Video Card – Sapphire Radeon X700 128MB
Case - Antec P180
Heatsink – Zalman CNPS9500-Cu
