    Memory problems

    About a week ago, after a short wait, I finally received my new memory. 2GB of G.Skill HS (2.5-3-3-6 DDR400). Now I tried it in the PC it has to go in, no luck. When I try it with the memory I already had (G.Skill GH 2x512MB, and yes I set the timings to those of the HS memory and turned down...

    Building new PC

    Mmmh been wondering about the memory. I know 1GB will suffice for now but is the brand right and should I maybe consider low latency memory? Or is regular PC3200 memory with CAS 2.5 enough as long as I don't do extreme overclocking?

    -It came to some 2450 euros so just within my budget -Klipsch almost impossible to get here in the Netherlands so for PC speakers it's really a choice between Creative and Logitech -You missed it: TFT: Xerox XA7-19i-8ms (19", 8ms, D-sub/DVI, Silver/Black)
