Hi,
I am going to build a AM2 new computer based on the Athlon 64x2 3800 (after the recent price drop).
I wonder if someone could please help me with the choice of memory as I am confused on which of the following would be best for the system. The mobo I am going to purchase is: Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe.
The choice of memory I have so far is:
Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C5 Twin X (2*1GB) - 5-5-5-12-T1
Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-5400 Twin X (2*1GB) - 4-4-4-12
Corair 2GB DDR2 Value Select PC5300 Dual Channel Kit (2*1GB) - CAS 3
Basically I am unsure as to whether the 6400 is required, or whether the cheaper 5400 with its lower latency would be better.
Thanks for your help in advance as I am confused over the DDR2 requirements.
Jim
