Hi Guys,
Just in the process of putting together my checklist for a new system and am scratching my head a bit on the memory I need. I'm looking at using the Asus P5KC mobo, as I've had an Asus board before and was happy with it, and this mobo will utilise both DDR2 or DDR3 memory. I'm not spashing-out on DDR3 memory now as it's just toooo expensive. Will be using Vista 64-bit so wish to buy 4GB of RAM.
The other 'main' components in the system will be:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 G0 Stepping (2.4GHz 1066MHz)
PSU: Enermax Galaxy 1000W EGX1000EWL ATX2.2 Modular PSU
GPU: Keeping my 8800GTX
I've never overclocked anything before but may give it a go once I've had the system for a while so, with this in mind, does anyone have any recommendations on DDR2 RAM for this set-up please? Would like something offering good 'base line' performance, reasonable overclocking opportuities, and 'stability' (very important). What a wish-list! The mobo has 4 x DDR2 slots btw..
Any suggestions most appreciated. Cheers guys!
