I'm building an ABIT IS-7/P4 2.8C system, and i'm trying to muddle through all the ram options. I'm looking at a single stick of DDR2700 ram right now, because it's a hell of a lot cheaper than DDR3200, and i can't imagine that there will be *that* much difference. Is that the case? I've been looking at a lot of articles that seem to simply assume that everyone is doing dual channel DDR3200 or 3500 ram. Is the real-world boost really that worth it? can i even do dual channel with only one DIMM? Am i undercutting my computer's power by not getting the fastest ram? If i'm not really planning to overclock, do i still need this XMS extreme speed ultimate ram, or is basic DDR ram enough?
