Need some RAM

[JHallas]

Ok,

So I'm putting together a new computer, I've decided on the ABIT IP35 Pro, but have not yet decided on the memory.

First, I'm trying to decide between 4GB and 2GB. Does Windows xp 32 support 4GB? If so, should I go 4x1GB or 2x2GB?

Either way, I want to spend less than $200 on ram, preferably less than $150. Any suggestions for good fast stable DDR2 800 or 1066?

Thanks

Windows 32bit will not recognise more than 3.25 GB (ish) of Ram. You could always go for 3 GB (2x1GB and 2X512MB) - if you're not planning on overclocking ur CPU or RAM then pretty much any Ram will serve you well - I have had good experiences with the DDR1 variety of G-skill, but never used DDR2

I'm thinking about just going with 2x1GB DDR2, just wondering if someone could give me a recommendation for the best bang for buck ram I could get. I most likely will be overclocking to some degree.

Another quick question, is it better to get DDR 800 with cas latency of 3 or DDR 1066 with cas latency of 5?
