help me pick memory

[inuyashafly]

I am getting a new pc

amd 64 4000
asus a8r mvp
radeon x850 xt pe (probly)
i guess thats about all that could matter

so i want a gig of ram i think my board will only suppor ddr400 but i dont know what brand etc. i was going to just get like generic or somthing like that but then i thought i might want better quality. so do you think more expensive ram will better my gaming performance. and eitherway what brand do you think i should get?

edit: right now this is what i think i want. kingsten value ram http://froogle.google.com/froogle_cluster?q=ddr400+1024&pid=4829187676307782629&oid=10756465065930568129&btnG=Search+Froogle&lmode=&addr=&scoring=p

hey there... i havn't used the kingston value ram but from what ive heard its not bad... i have 1 gig of Geil Value Ram (90 ish dollars) and plan to get another gig... its not too bad to tell you the truth... i mean, im sure the more expensive stuff will perform alot better... but you cant beat the price of value ram... check out the reviews @ newegg.com (my personal favorite E-store) and also check prices at zipzoomfly.com (sometimes cheaper and offer free second day shipping on almost everything.)

DON'T BUY VALUE RAM!!!! THESE ARE THE ONES THAT HAVE TO PAY THE PRICE!!!

BUY EXPENSIVE RAM WHERE HE MAKES IT-

YEP ALL BY HIMSELF...

ok.... so aside from the joke... why shouldnt a person save a few bucks (quite a few that is) and buy value ram that works pretty good? I play games on my computer (not finished builing fully yet) with the value ram and it runs just fine... its my crap graphics card holding me down
