Hi,

I built my own PC about a year and a half ago. I have a ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe Mobo, AMD FX-55, BFG 6800 Ultra, two WD 10k HDD, and 2 Gigs of Kingston Value RAM PC3200 (1gig each). I am looking to upgrade my memory to faster RAM. I don't know what company to go with or what RAM I should even consider. I know PC3200 is fast, but I heard about RAM having cycles or something of that nature and 2.5 or 2 is the fastest and the best. Is this true? Should I even consider this? I found out that my current RAM is 3 Cycles, should I upgrade? This is mainly my gaming machine and I don't want any bottle necks what so ever.

Also price doesn't matter. :)

Thanks!

Go to corsair.com and type in your MB model...
They will spin out a list of RAM modules that suit your MB...

From there its jut how deep your pockets are...
