Hello
I have been reading with interest about peoples views on memory and Samsung is generally praised. I am currently building a system and the final hurdle is which brand of memory to use. I am leaning towards Corsair as they claim to support CAS2.0 (without OC, which I am not keen on but may try..).
Here are my specs:
XP 1600
Abit AT7 KT333 Legacy Free
512Mb PC2700 (corsair or samsung..)
WD 80Gb JB
Coolercase Tornado (any comments about this choice?)
Enermax 450W
Taisol Heatsink
etc.
I was intending to run the memory at CAS2.0 but from what I read, the speed difference is not great from CAS2.5. From being the same price and decided CAS2.0 would be a better choice.
Also, I would like to use multiple sticks but have read stories about this not being easy. To avoid problems, is it just a matter of using registered sticks? Ideally I would be running 3x512Mb (as I can't find Gb sticks?), does this sounds like a recipe for disaster? I asked the people I mailed the company I'm buying my gear from (www.overclockers.co.uk) and they suggested Samsung.
Any help/comments are appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave.
