    RAM Dilemma

    I am ina dilemma for ram. My new system is coming in :

    3000+ Venice
    DFI NF4 Ultra-D

    I dont have alot of money for ram tho. Should I keep the 512mb of TCCD I have or sell it and go for a gig of value UTT ? I will be aiming for around 2.7ghz so what do I need? Is there a way to manage the dividers to run a gig of value ram to 300htt ?

    Thanks,

    Evlnome.

    Keep that TCCD, test you CPU's upper limit on OCing on single channel first. If your Venice is capable of running 2.7G, then move on to you plan.

    Yes, you run the divider to keep the RAM running at lower speed.

    Yup sounds like a plan, are you looking at going 1 gig, and if so remeber that 2-2-2-5 is alot better on amds then highbandwidth, tests show that drr400 is enough bandwidth for amd64, low latencies is where it's at.
