It's just that I play MOHO and Ghost Recon type games and know that AMD is compatable, it seems as if years ago I had problems with a pentium, and I can get more with the money I have to go AMD. I guess I'm going to consider the 9800 pro 128 and the AMD 3000XP. I want to go with 1gig of memory, should I still consider the kingston, and if so what type with AMD 3000?

If you go with the 3000+, get at least pc3200 ram. What brand and type depends on how much you want to spend.
I would get quality ram though. Try to check out some reviews on ram for the brand and type you want to get to see if it really is a good combo with the mobo you want to use.

I would hate to waste the time getting new expensive ram and a mobo just to find out that there's a problem with the ram on that mobo. Take the time now so you waste less later.

Mushkin, Corsair XMS or Kingston Hyper X. I, personally, would stear clear of Geil at all costs. I've heard of too many things that make Geil seem rather sketchy, the whole PC3700 alone makes me think their quality control is far inferior to the afore mentioned brands. You can't go wrong with those three brands, however.

its just a simple question of how much a dollar is worth to you. do some simple math.

I'd acually suggest some Buffalo Pc 3200 or Pc 3700 it uses Winbond CH-5 chips which are the same chips used in corsair XMS, so you can get close to corsair's performance for a lot less money, JIMO. Hope this helps... 🙂
