I just purchased the following:
DFI nF4 Ultra-D
Opteron 170
Next I need to pick out some DDR that has good potential for overclocking my Opteron a bit. I'm not looking to take it to the extreme edge, just somewhere in the middle of it's range would be nice. The CPU is a CCBWE 0543TPMW, so I'm not totally sure what that range is.
My questions about DDR:
1) Should I get 2 x 1GB or 2 x 512mb? I really would like 2gb of ram, so hopefully something out there has the potential for overclocking.
2) I'm totally clueless on timings, even after reading a bit. I'm just looking for stability in my overclock and hopefully not totally losing out on the speed of the ram. Can I have my cake and eat it too or do you trade one for the other?
3) Which brands should I stick with? OCZ? Patriot? Corsair? Any others?
4) How about models? Platinum? Gold? Performance? Value?
Thanks for any input. You guys really sound like you know what you're doing.
