I have the new mb from MSI K8N Neo, and I plan to buy the Athlon 64 3200+, but i don't know what kind of memory should i go with! What do you guys think?
I thought that Corsair or Kingston would be the best buy, and should i go with 1gb or 2*512 of memory????
Thanks
Eddie
PS: What kind of Video Card would you guys prefer??
I am building a new computer and would like to have the option of connecting my dvd from the computer to my bigger TV, in another words, i don't wanna have to buy another dvd player, i just wanna connect the one from the computer

If i were you I would check out what ram is compatible with your mobo. One kind that i'm sure works with your mobo is kingmax. I know this becuase I almost have the same mobo, I have the neo-fis2r and I got what was suggested on the msi website and I have had no problems at all.

In Tom's article <A HREF="http://www.tomshardware.com/motherboard/20040602/index.html" target="_new">here</A> they tested 13 memory modules at 2X512 in your exact motherboad. Read it, it is tailor-made for your question. But short answer, both the kingston and corsair ran fine.

KingMax's BGA chip is very beautiful, but it's cheaper than Kingston and Corsair.
If I were you ,I would choose Corsair.
