The high-end system uses "Value Select" RAM? Why not some 2-2-2 latency RAM?

I included both ValueRAM and Mushkin Level One 2-3-2 RAM. It is the opinion of many forum members that low latencies mean translate to little or no performance increase in A64 systems, so those people should stick with the ValueRAM. People who want low latencies and don't mind the added cost can get the Level One.

Isn't is nice to have a choice?

His high end system has value in mind too otherwise he'd have dual 30" LCD all SCSI'd out $25000 computer... the sky is really the limit in the high end realm.

But I agree some 2-2-2 stuff like below, $265 AR, would'nt kill the budget.

Thanks for the link to that RAM. Wasn't aware 2-2-2 RAM was that cheap.

To all the people who voted "Good/Needs Minor Changes", I would really appreciate it if you replied with your comments about the components (or any other work you think needs to be done).

Thanks.
