Upgrading my System for $200

[Apokalipse]

Corsair 512MB PC3200XL TwinX
Platinum Heat Spreaders
2-2-2-5 timings
TwinX=2 matched sticks that are designed to run in Dual Channel
the fastest RAM available
$179

and if you want a new mobo, the Asus P4S800 is a great board for a P4
I checked Asus's website and it supports all your hardware plus the Corsair DDR400 memory
$69

total=$248

if you can get $48 more you'll be happy with these

Sweet that shit is ULTRA CHEAP.

I've got a question, will those ram chips run at lower speeds and by themselves?

I might just get them now.

 

[becroydon]

yes, you can underclock those and they can run without one another

 

[mdshort]

Awsome.

Will they underclock by default if my system won't currently go that fast?

 

[becroydon]

but why would you want to

 

[mdshort]

I'm probably going to get the ram before the motherboard, and I wanted to make sure they would work.

 

[mdshort]

I just realized that was just one memory module.

 

[Apokalipse]

oh I see, hang on a sec....










Here is the TwinX version $182 (3 bux more)
