I'm going to be using a MIS K8N Diamond which used ddr 400 type ram, so is there different ram that works better for overclocking? I'll be using 1 x 1gb stick. The system isn't built yet so I want to get some pointers with this pc component.
I'd rather buy 2 x 512mb sticks than 1 x 1gb stick man... but if u hav more cash to burn why not 2 x 1gb??? i recommend ocz/corsair, hi end one of course....
In the past I did exactly that bought 2 pieces but I know I will likely keep this PC for a long time so upgrading ram will be cheaper in the future as I could imagine an extra gig will be need once Vista come about and all the associated apps.
Is that all I need just the brand or should I actully have some specs to go by? I was going to get Kingston Ram.
What I have discoverd is that Athlon 64 works better with certain types of ram like TCCD chips.
OCZ Platinum DDR 500 - it has looser timings cause its capable of 500mhz, so at 433mhz it would have tight timings aswell, and yes you will need two sticks for dual channel
