Hi, Im getting an Athlon 64 (non FX) with a K8V Deluxe Version mother board from ASUS. I need to get a gig of ram for rendering purposes, what do you gents recomend?

No can use unbuffered ram. I would go with some Corsair XMS LL. If not overclocking anything from a reputable memory maker should be fine.

Best price/performance IMO is TwinMOS, have two PC3200 sticks myself, unfortunately I'm not running them at anymore than 200/400 MHz, not due to limitations in the RAM though.
A guy at work has two PC3200 sticks as well, running them at 240 or thereabouts.

mushkin pc3500 black lvl2. it's one of the best performing rams at the 400mhz level, according to AT's memory roundup. ~$135 at newegg for 512megs.
