Wusy-
He says no Gaming and No Overclocking to be done... why do you recommend such high mhz ram?

If hes not OCing or doing intense gaming there is no need for anything other then standard pc3200 no matter what Proc he gets all the P4's run with 200mhz fsb

ABSOLUTELY no overclocking, ever? The fastest would be the Corsair PC3200LL, 2 512MB sticks.

I think OCZ PC3700 Copper gives the most reasonable timings over a wide range of speeds.

Corsair's website suggests TWINX1024-3200C2 for "Enthusiast". (for Abit IS7)

What is the difference between TWINX1024-3200C2 and TWINX1024-3200LL?

Am I right in assuming that 3700 will be slower than the 3200?

LL is 2-2-2, C2 is 2-3-3 I believe.

Yes, higher speed RAM tends to have much slower timings in order to assure stability at higher speeds. My PC4000 Pro won't go lower than 3-4-4-8 even at reduced speeds.
