Memory upgrade

[ww2u]

My system is about a year old now, and I thought a nice Christmas present for myself would be a memory upgrade.

I am going to upgrade my video card also in about 4 - 6 months. Probably a x800 pro.

My system...

A7N8X Deluxe
AMD Athlon XP Barton 2800
Corsair Value Select VS256MB400 x 2
ATI Radeon 9600 Pro

I have OC'd the CPU just a little, basically upped the FSB to 400MHz. The CPU identifies as an AMD 3200 in all the benchmarking programs and CPU ID programs that I run. My system is very stable, runs cool and is my first home built rig. Really want to buy the video card first, but the checkbook says memory, then video card.

I would like 1meg of RAM, single stick.

Any thoughts will be appreciated.

umm whats the question? are you asking what specific stick you should be looking for?

Your nForce mainboard will have better performance (dual-channel) with a pair of RAM rather than single stick.

dido that unless your planning on upgradeing to 2gb of ram in the near future, which is a bit overkill even on AT

Oh yeah, forgot the question.

Yes, what stick should I be looking for. Not into extreme oc'ing, but a little bit. Hoping to keep the price below $150, but can go a little higher.

grab 2 sticks of this you'll get the speed you wan't and have an awsome warranty. it's a little more than some of the stuff out but it's quality. i'd order straight from them too.
