I'm gathering info on building a system. I'm planning on buying the new P4 3 Ghz with HT and probably either the Asus MB or or Gigabyte MB. I'm looking to get 2 sticks of 512 DDR400 at CL2.
1. Since I don't plan to OC, should I go with Crucial rather then Corsair?
2. I took a look around and wasn't able to find any Crucial DDR400 that was CL2. Do I need to go with Corsair for CL2?
3. Since I want Dual-channel, how do I know I'm getting 2 matched pairs?
4. Do all DDR400 sticks support Dual-channel?
5. My understanding is that going with 2 DDR400 sticks with CL2 will be the lowest latency and the best speed due to being syched with the 800 FSB motherboard (whichever I decide to get). Any problems with my plans, or any recommendations that I didn't meantion here?
Thanks!
