Corsair - 1gb CL2.5 or 512mb CL2?

[timberwolf1]

I am building a new system (P4 3.0, Asus P4C800) and will be buying corsair memory. I was initially thinking of putting in 1gb of CL2.5 as it is reasonably priced. I use my PC mainly for gaming, some digital photo editing (photoshop). I also run Office XP etc. The OS is Win XP pro. Should I use 512mb and run faster CL2 instead or go for 1gb of CL2.5?

no, especially not under XP. Timmings dont really make much of a diffrence in real world performance. At the most (from what i have experienced) you will see 5% diffrence by running one 512mb at 3-3-3-7 and the other at 2-2-2-5.

If it isn't a P6 then it isn't a processor
