I’ve come pretty far in choosing hardware (Barton 2500+, Abit NF7-S Rev 2.0, Radeon 9800np) and it’s now time to pick some good RAM. I’m pretty sure I’d like to go with Corsair XMS (every other person has it listed in their rig, and it gets rave reviews all over the net), but will take other suggestions. I’ve heard nice things about Kingston, OCZ, Mushkin, Crucial, etc. as well, but after days on end of hardware-searching, I want to draw this obsessing to a close heh.
I’m looking for performance, reliability, longevity, and OCability. I will most likely be buying 2 512 MB sticks since my mobo supports dual channel, and then upgrade in the future. I’m not sure what PCXXXX to get, though 3200 seems to be standard for my type of setup. Any suggestions would be very appreciated.
Gaming PC in progress, suggestions welcome
