What's the best 1-gig-per-stick RAM for nForce 4?

[jvarszegi]

Will this work? The title is bad; I want RAM coming in 1 gigabyte per stick. I'd prefer to buy only one right now, but if I gotta get two, I gotta.

Corsair TWINX2048-3200PRO 2048MB DDR400 XMS3200 ProSeries Memory w/Heat Spreader

Note the extra LED "bling".

er, thats 2 gigs....

Yep, sorry. I edited, but too slowly. But will it work? The only chipsets mentioned in the blurbage are 865PE/875P. Will nForce 4 mobos support any old PC-3200 DDR400 RAM?

 

[jvarszegi]

This will be my only bump. Please, I'm up really late and bleary-eyed after shopping and reading my ass off all weekend, and I still basically view picking RAM as a black art! The answer to one question could resolve all of my problems: can I use any PC-3200 DDR400 RAM with the nForce 4, any at all??? THANK YOU.

This might help. Or it might not. A lot of the information contained therein seems a bit dated.

Well, it is some help. Maybe I just won't sweat it, and get a gig of value RAM to start off, following in someone else's footsteps. Thanks for the help.

It doesn't matter what mobo you are using because the memory controller is built into the processor. All recently released A64 used DDR400 PC3200. However, the 2 gig Cosrair that you were looking at has bad latency. You should try to find memory with 2-2-2-5 latency.
