Hi guys,
I'll be building a new S754 A64 system(probably a 3200+/3400+) and I'm a bit confused on what memory I should be getting. I will be overclocking the system, and because of that I'm under the impression that I should go for bandwidth and forget about low latencies. As such, I'm basically looking at ~PC4000 memory, in particular the OCZ EL PC4000/Performance Series PC4200 DC pack or the Geil Ultra PC4000 DC pack. While the S754 doesn't support DC, I think it's cheaper to buy them in pairs anyway since I will be needing ~1GB.
I'm looking at newegg and Corsair/Mushkin/Kingston doesn't have anything comparable to these OCZ/Geil pairs pricewise(~$260-280), and the OCZ PC4200 Performance Series is just a few bucks more than the OCZ PC4000 Enhanced Latency(even though Newegg lists both as 3-4-4-8). My question is, are these 4 pairs of memory any good for the A64 that I'm getting?
Any other comments/suggestions/opinions are appreciated. Thanks.
Here are the links to the memory that I'm interested in:
