Please Let me know what you think. thanks for hte help
 
The difference is the memory timings or Cas Latency.

The middle link you posted is the better ram.

I am fan of Patriot ram, I currently have 3GB of their DRR400 Cas2 memory and it works great.
 
If you are not planning on overclocking or don't care about the speed get the Cas3. If you want to overclock or just have the fastest ram availible get the cas2.
 
I dun really care about overclocking. Does it make a difference if i am not srue if i really need 2 gigs of ram that i just buy a 1 gig stick first and then see if i need the second one after that? or if you buy the 2 gigs togethere does it improve the performance? just wondering. thanks again for anyones help.
 
Depends on what you do with out system.

If you plan to upgrade to Windows Vista when it comes out you will want 2GB of ram. If you play a lot of games or do graphic editing you will want 2GB of ram.

If you just surf the net and use Windows apps 1GB will be fine.
 
what will i need if i want to upgrade to windows vista? dun i need a bunch of diff things. I havent really thought of that at all while i have been building this comp.
