Memory Recommendation

[Jazzatola]

I'm putting together the specs for a new gaming system and am trying to decide which memory to choose. I've decided on an A8N Premium motherboard and want to add two 1GB sticks.

My main concern is reliability and performance but I'm not planning to do any overclocking so is it worth paying extra for a brand like Corsair or will someone like Crucial or Kingston do the job?

Anything else I should consider?

Thanks!

Any brand name (Corsair, Crucial or Kingston) would be fine. But if you're not overclocking, there's no big reason to get performance ram over value ram.

If you want the most performance but aren't overclocking get low latency (CAS 2) PC3200 RAM, (NOT DDR 500 as that's overclocking RAM). There's some reasonably nice patriot RAM on rebate at newegg right now.

Sorry, should have said, I'm in the UK. If only we had the same kind of prices you guys pay!

Ok, in which case check out scan and overclocker's this day only offers. I can't remember the site i got my RAM from, place in NI i think that was pretty damned good value.

Fry's should have 2 x 1GB Corsair Value Select for $130.
