What RAm setup would be the best bet? and .......

[Magnakai]

Either 2 of these sticks: http://www.corsairmicro.com/main/pr...x512-3500c2.pdf

Or this setup:http://www.corsairmicro.com/main/pr...x512-3200ll.pdf

Also..would it be a better idea to buy the new epox nforce 2 board and replace my xp1800 with some other CPU for the same price as what the ram would be, or keep the 1800 cpu and get better ram with the new board instead?

The LL would be faster, its rated at cas 2-2-2-6 which is much faster than cas 2-3-3-7.

Hehe I asked the same thing recently here. I'm still undecided, it seems like the 3500C2 should be able to run 2-2-2-6 at 400MHz, I dunno, both are exactly the same price here (3200 TwinX LL vs 3500C2 XMS)
