Critique new build....

[human2k]

New:

XP1700 JIUHB:0310
SLK800 + 92MM 66CFM YS-Tech Fan
Abit NF7 Version 2.0
Corsair XMS3200 512MB
Antec LanBoy w/350W SmartPower


From my old rigs:
Radeon 9500 NP (Softmodded to 9700 PRO)
Seagate 40GB
Lite-On DVD

Some questions, should I go with two sticks of 256mb? I first thought about getting some PC3000 Hyper-X but heard of compatibility problems with Rev 2.0 Nforce 2 boards. I'm purchasing everything from excaliberpc.com, and they have two XP1700 week 10 to choose from:

JIUHB:0310WPMW and JIUHB:0310XPMW


which one should I get?



Thanx!

Sweet. What settings?

its at 12.5x200
my ram is running at 100mhz, because i calculated Dual-Channel DDR will equals x4
so 4x100=400MHz, which is the bandwidth that is needed
running on an abit nf7-s rev1.2

I just finished going through some of the new posts in the NF7-S thread and did not find anything on the bios corruption issue, so I guess they fixed this?
