Help me pick my RAM

[Shadey216]

Well, I'm going to be building a new system soon, and I'm really still confused on the RAM i wanna go with. There's just so many different choices. The Motherboard i'm getting is an Asus P4p800, I'm looking to get 512 MB of RAM, I will probably upgrade to 1 gig later on. I know i need 2 256mb sticks for the DDR motherboard. I've had my mind set on Corsair memory, I've read that they are realiable on the somewhat fickle 865 chipset motherboards. I'm trying to stay somewhere around the 130$ mark.

If you guys can recomend some good memory , it doesn't have to be Corsair either just something good. Thanks.

Supposedly the Buffalo is a really good value. Many ATers are gonna say Buffalo, but I dunno.

<--still on 2100 that can do 2700 speeds at CL 2.5

Wow, i've actually never heard of Buffalo RAM, but there 3200 is priced pretty nice. Anyone else have some recomendations?

Make sure you read Memory Holy Grail: Part 1. Also, try this Tweaktown review of DDR400 brands.

Thanks for the links man. I think i'm going to go with some Crucial 3200, it was either that or the Kingmax 3200. I read some reviews and seen some negatives on the Kingmax and didn't see any on the Corsair.
