New computer - maybe

[Empty_5oul]

i would stick with that one jeff.

Zoo,

Isn't OCZ good memory?

Empty,

Thanks, I think I am going to stick with this one

Go 939 because you can upgrade to AMD64x2 in the future. 754 allows not upgrading to future processors. Of sourse you can shoose 754 but when you will upgrade you must change motherboard.

i was looking for a memory round up but found this on some of the top 939 motherboards

thought it may be of use to you.

with memory you get what you pay for, if something is significantly cheaper it probably isn't a great deal but has someting slower about it e.g. CAS timings.

yea ocz is good memory, the reason i say this is because the only way to oc any of the amd 64 chips is is to change the fsb. all the chips are multiplyer locked (except for the fx cpu's), you have to have fast memory to compensate for the fsb increase.

say for instance, my 3000+ winchester is multiplyer locked at 9, and the default fsb is 200. 9 x 200 = 1800 mhz (the fsb is really much higher on this chip, but its integrated so i dont know what it really is)

i can increase my fsb only in occordance to the speed of memory i have, so the faster memory i have the more i can oc the fsb.

hope this helps.

Is Lower CAS better or Higher?

[zooYork]

lower the better.

i forgot i had sisoft sandra 2004, my total fsb is 2x1000(2000mhz datarate). i totally forgot about sisoft.

Is the RAM I chose good enough for Ocing?

[Empty_5oul]

reading comment 3 the OC potential doesn't seem that great. It is luck though, as with CPU's some sticks are good and others not so good.

The dual channel memory i got was Geil -- i think this one would be the US equivilent http://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion/...82E16820144310
actual UK one i got: http://www.microdirect.co.uk/product...productID=5608

This is very quick and has a low speed and access times. Many reviews and people have posted saying they can oush it to 433 easy.

[Empty_5oul]

mainly for ototero.
i just did a currency convert for this spec machine.

792.99 USD = 433.90 GBP
United States Dollars = United Kingdom Pounds

:O these prices are crazy. you would get nothing like that spec wise for the same money.
