RAM question

I just wanted to know what you all thought about buying RAM. I mean, if you're looking to purchase RAM, what do you do? Do you look at the RAM bandwidth? The size of the RAM 512MB, 1GB, etc? The price of the RAM? The OC-ability? When it comes to RAM, I really don't know much. For instance, if they were in the same price range, would it be wiser to buy 1GB of PC3200 or 512MB of slower-clocked PC4000? Basically what I'm simply trying to ask is is size better than bandwidth?
 
find out the specs of your motherboard first. what kind of ram does it use, etc. then go from there.
 
Well this isn't really for a purshase for my current system. I just want to know exactly what you guys look for in RAM.
 
If you are going to run Windows XP, 512 mb is the bare minimum you need. 1gb will go a lot further. The latency is important only if you are overclocking.
