Hiya,
Just bought an EPOX nforce2 Motherboard and an Athlon xp 2400+ processor to sit on it. But I can't decide what speed memory to go for. I'm going for 512MB but does DDR333 sound the best choice - or is it better to go with DDR266 that works at the same pace as the Athlon FSB? And does CAS2 make a big difference over CAS2.5?
I doubt I'll be doing much overclocking so that isn't really an issue - but I still wanna buy the quickest memory I can that gives good price/performance figures (and isn't outrageously priced!). AND - what about two strips of 256MB instead of one of 512MB to use the Dual DDR channels of the nForce2.
Jeez - how will I EVER decide! As you can tell I have no idea about memory so the more help the better!!
Thanx!
