wassup
My friend, (and maybe myself) wants to get some RAM while we'
re building our pc's, but werent too sure what RAM to get.

1. What's the difference between unbuffered and registered RAM?
2. Whats the cas latency thingy? and the numbers 2-3-3-6 or something? while others have like 3.
3. How does dual-channeled RAM work?
4. what's the difference btwn Corsair XMS ram and Corsair's normal "value" ram?

Thanks..

PS- an unrelated question, but my friend wants to get the Athlon 64 3200... what motherboard is the best one out for that cpu? And is the Athlon 64 his best choice? ty
