oops, need to post up top
If you do not want to overclock, pick up any 3200 rated from corsair,
kingston, crucial, mushkin. if you want to overclock, you'll need to
do some homework. pricegrabber is a good place to look.
i want to OC, so I am considering Corsair TWINX1024-3200XL 2-2-2-5 1GB
Kit DDR400 XMS3200 Dual-Channel Xtra-Low Latency Memory w/Black Heat
Spreader. >$300 at zipzoomfly.com.
along with thermalright slk948U heatsink with a 92mm fan.
