Help in memory decision....

[Blanks]

This is what I have put together so far....

Kingwin-424-B-VM Case w/ 80mm Blowhole
ASUS P4C800 E Deluxe
P4 2.8C MO w/SP-94 Heatsink w/ 92mm Tornado Fan
Swiftech MCX159-P Chip Cooler for NB
Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS
2 WD 36.7 Raptors
Lite On LTR-52327S Black 52x32x52 CD-RW Drive, 2MB, OEM
LITE-ON XJ-HD166/XJ-HD 165H 16X DVD ROM Drive BLACK
MITSUMI D359M3 BLACK FDD 1.44MB 3.5INCH - OEM
ENERMAX Noisetaker EG475P-VE-SFMA. 470W
Hercules Radeon 9800 pro

Plan to overclock it and having a hard time on what memory to purchase. Want 2 * 512 dimms.

Here are choices I was planning on considering:

Mushkin 3500 Lvl 2
Corsair XMS 4000 Pro
OCZ 3700 Gold Revision 2
OCZ 4000 Gold
OCZ 4200 Gold

Plan on getting these 3 weeks from now and the Mushkin may no longer be available due to bh-5 chip is no longer being made. For the DDR500 memory and my 2.8c ill need to be capable of running at a raw 250 FSB. What are the chances of this and which memory would you recomend and why?

any suggestions?

I'd get a 2.6C or 2.4C and then get some OCZ PC4200, you would have to be very lucky to get a 2.8C to 3.5Ghz on air cooling.

P.S i would go for two of the 74gig WD raptors, there performance is slightly better than the 36Gb ones.

Hah, most 2.6C's only clock as high as a 2.4C, but at lower bus speeds. The 2.8C clocks higher, most have a better core revision.

well what would you suggest i go with current set up that i have. how does ocz 4000 gold compare to corsair xms 4000 pro?

In my own opinion u should buy an RDRAM using RIMM 6400 it would give u performance better than DDR400.That is my promise

 

[addiarmadar]

Whatever system clock you want to accomplish get the ram that goes up to that clock.

Barton 2500+ @ 2200mhz (10x220 vcore @ 1.8)
Asus A7N8X Dlx 440 FSB
1gb Geil GD pc3500 Dual Channel (2-3-3-6)
Segata 80gb SATA 8.5ms seek
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro(420/720)

well I think since my processor fsb is between 240-245 ill be best of just getting the ocz pc3700 rev 2.
