I have a very important decision regarding what is the best memory for my computer.
My friend got a new motherboard to upgrade to the new PCIe cards and he gave me his motherboard: http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?modelmenu=2&model=478&l1=3&l2=15&l3=68
It's the A8V model. I am going to use my current computer parts with this new motherboard, but I'd upgrade the CPU to AMD 64+3500.
Now the question I have, is I also had plans to increasing the memory of the CPU. I am currently running 256x2 Corsair TWIN-X PC3200(5-2-2-2) Dual Channel @400MHz. I have plans on buying a whole new "pair" set of upgrade. The question is: Is it better to buy PC4400 that can clock up to 533 and run it underclocked @400MHz, or should I stick with PC3200 which's peak is 400MHz clock. Will I get better performance out of the PC4400 or about the same. I was thinking about just going with the 512x2 Corsair TWIN-X PC3200 Low Latency for my computer.
If I didn't support enough information please tell me ^^ Any info would be more than great. Thanks.
