Upgrading, suggestions please )
It's finally come time to upgrade the ol 900AMD system with something better. Here is what I have come up with.
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum 939 pin
AMD Athlon 64 3500+, 512K (or 3200+ depending on final cost)
(memory part of the suggestions I need, see below)
Western Digital Raptor 74GB 10,000RPM (have an 80GB ata drive already going to be a secondary drive)
Pioneer DVR-108
Already have a GeForce 5900 Ill be moving over and a Thermaltake 480W PSU.
Question gets into the memory choices, the top three that I see are....
CORSAIR XMS, Xtra-Low Latency 2-2-2-5, 184-Pin 1GB TWINX1024-3200XLPRO
2 x Crucial Ballistix 184-Pin 512MB DDR PC-3200
OCZ EL Platinum Revision 2 Dual Channel Kit 184-Pin 1GB(512MBx2) DDR PC-3200
All of the above memory get very good scores on several sites, however I'm just wondering If I need that kind of high end ram as I plan on doing ZERO overclocking with the machine. Would I really be taking a performance hit to just get some pc3200 valueram!?
Any other suggestions, I'm all eyes. thanks all - Silverbrain
