In that case, you should just stick to DDR 400. I do not see the point in purchasing DDR 500 for more when your motherboard can only support up to DDR 400.

The only difference between:

and

is basically the heat shield. Your paying a $1 more to get the heat shield.

Thats the only difference I can point out.

no it means you change the settings in the bios when you first connect your comp it will be run at that speed just overclock your cpu a little and get it to 250*9 or whatever it is go with the DDR500

WAMP! THANK YOU FOR PLAYING



Your motherboard Automaticly downs it to DDR400=pc3200, and DDR500 ram is a big plus in OC'ing..

Its up to him, personally Id go with the DDR500...but thats just me

depends on if he wants to oc

lol, thanks i recalled some problem of compitability with ddr 400 mobo and ddr 500 sticks.. but i guess its not as crucial as i figured Sorry for making a confusion, still you should go with what you'r mobo is built for, unless you are planning to massivly overclock....

dude, DO NOT GO WITH THE DDR400, seeing as how ur getting a 3800+, you will definitely need to overclock soon. and the DDR 500 is the best for overclocking. it gives u alot of headroom to overclock ur CPU FSB without having to worry about the ram. so lets say ur multiplier is at 11 * 50Mhz=550Mhz, that means u can get ur cpu to 2.55GHz without having to touch your ram.
