Decent RAM for the Board ??

[dave39]

What do you guys suggest for a decent, but not too expensive, 2GB RAM kit ?? It will need to be able to handle a bit of overclocking.

It would be for this: Biostar Tforce 550 NFORCE4 550 ATX AM2 1PCI-E16 2PCI-E1 4PCI SATA RAID Sound GBLAN Motherboard

the timings look a little high on that...you might just be paying for the brand name?

i dont know look around newegg i found some really nice sticks with tight timings for around 160 USD

Well dave, I would recommend Crucial Ballistix RAM if you want to overclock and run'em cool but....they only come in 512mb sticks. You can get 512 x 2 in each kit but not 1GB x 2 for some odd reason (or at least that I could find). The Ballistix are amazing RAM that very soon I am going to buy another kit of!

Those RAM aren't compatible with AM2 sockets because they aren't DDR2, at least as far as I can see.

Plus AM2 can get faster RAM speeds than 400Mhz.
