What type and brand of RAM would work best for the following setup??
- GIGABYTE GA-8IEXP motherboard
- Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 Processor (Northwood) 2.4GHz, 533MHz FSB, Socket 478

Even the slightest bit of help would be great, let me know if you need to know anything more about the computer the RAM would be going in, thanks.

PC3200 would be best, which is DDR400 RAM. You could run that at the 3:4 FSB/RAM ratio and get "DDR354" speed, which is 177MHz, at the fastest timings. Or, if you ever decide to overclock, at 150MHz bus and 3:4, you'll get the full DDR400 speed (200MHz) for the RAM, but you'll probably have to use more conservative memory timings at full speed.
