Hello Everybody,
first of all I want to thank you for your help.
Sorry for my bad english, i am not a native speaker...
I want to upgrade my system memory.
I have a Nforce 4 ultra chipset mobo with Ahtlon 64 3500 @ 2500Mhz
dual channel 2 * 512MB
I plan to upgrade to at least 2 GB!
Questions:
1.) Is it true, because of dual channel I'll have to sell my old memory and have to buy 2 * 1024MB. If i won't, with 4 * 512MB my system will slow down?
2.) What do you think about develoment of prices? Should I wait for AM2?
3.) I plan to overclock my system. Should I buy some PC500 memory with bad timings or PC400 with fast timings?
I am not sure if my mobo will mange it to run with 250 FSB?
My CPU is running with 250MHZ FSB and multiplier 10. (total 2500Mhz)
Because of memory devider the ram is running at 210MHz...
4.) Is it better to use fast timings or high frequencies?
5.) Which 2 * 1024Mb modules would you buy?
I thought to spend more or less 200 Euro...
Thanks a lot for your help !!!
