I am thinking about upgrading from my xp2400, 768mb pc2100 (256pny,512 crucial) to a barton xp3200 and 2gigs(1gb x 2..dual channel) of corsair xms pro pc3200. Right now I have an asus a7n8x-e deluxe with 6600gt and I am wondering if I will have enough of a performance increase in games like hl2 and bf2 to justify spending around $400 to run at 400fsb with all the extra memory. I am hoping to stay with this setup for about 1 1/2-2 years before i move to 64bit.
ALSO: a small question about memory specs..i have heard that cs latency for amd cpus should be 2.5 and not 2 or else it is bad for your computer or something...does it really matter when it comes down to price whether or not to get 3 instead of 2 and vice versa?? also memory timings: is there a specific number that i need to look for when it comes to my mobo+playing games+processor (ex: 3-3-3-8<--what does it mean)? Any feedback is greatly appreciated!! thanks
