im working on a computer for a friend, and if things go welll, i might change from rambus myself. for the price of new and bigger rambus, you can buy a new mobo and ddr ram and come out wayyy cheaper. and they say ddr ram will run faster than the rambus?
hes going from 1 gig (256x4) samsung pc800 rambus on a asus P4T533-C motherboard to a ECS 865PE-4 mobo with ddr ram.
hes wanting to run 512x4 ddr400 ram in dual channel each. the mobo is supposed to be able to run 4 sticks, both in dual channel mode.
what im wanting to know is what ram is the best bang for the buck? he dont want to spend 600.00 on 4 sticks of ram, but also does not want junk ram either.
has anybody ran this same mobo and had any problems? or have anything good to say? the mobo says it needs un-buffered ram, so keep this in mind.
the computer specs
p-4 3.07 ghz w/ ht
120 gig seagate st3120024a h/d
450 watt power supply
