Need a reccomendation

[tim0]

Hello all,

I want to buy the following system soon, but don't know what RAM would be good for it.

This is my system:
Cooler Master Centurion 5,
Antec TruePower Trio, 550 Watt,
GA-965P-DS3,
BFG GeForce 7600 GT, 256 MB, DDR3, PCI Express x16,
Western Digital Caviar SE16, 250 GB, 7200 rpm, 16 MB, Serial ATA300
Samsung SH-182M, ATAPI/E-IDE
Generic floppy drive
And an E6400 C2D

Could someone reccomend some to me? I want to OC a little.

Thanks,
Tim

DDR800 would be best for with an E6400 if you plan on OCing any further than 2.67GHz, but DDR667 cas4 would probably do.

DDR2-800 is good while ddr2-675 gives you some breathing space. 800 gives you plenty. Corsair is good. I have a 2gb kit ddr2-675.

I would ditch the floppy drive as well.

With OC, make sure you got enough fans. Perhaps you can look at processor fans....replace the one INtel includes with the processor.

My A-Data DDR2-800 sticks are sailing along @ DDR2-900 as I type. I did have to loosen timings to 5-6-6-20.

Nope...not with programs out that will update the BIOS in Windows....but you will need one if you have to load drivers for installing the OS(f6 drivers)
