Any help appreciated as I do not understand RAM that well -- I know I need
DDR 400Mhz PC3200 RAM for a 64bit system I am building with this
motherboard
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=630739&Tab=10&NoMapp=0
but there seem to be all sorts of DDR 400Mhz memory types -- Overclocking,
Dual Channel, etc. I want a minimum of 1GB, and the mother board has 3
slots for a total of 3GB max. I want fast memory as I am building this
systme for speed. My main purpose of a fast system with lots of fast RAM
is for image editing of large images. I want to be able to do digital
editing and layering of 16"x20" 300dpi images. So what type of DDR 400Mhz
RAM do I want, what brand, overclocking, low latency, dual channel? All a
bit confusing to me.
