Hi there everyone

I want to upgrade my system to 2GB, I have an ABIT KN8 Ultra 939 nForce4 motherboard and was just wondering which set of RAM is better:

http://www.infonec.ca/site/main.php?module=detail&id=15311
OCZ 2GB (2x1GB) DDR PC-4000 Gold GX XTC 2GB Dual Channel 3-4-3 timings (isn't that missing a number?)

or

http://www.canadacomputers.com/index.ph...wProduct&cmd=pd&pid=007920&cid=RAM.178
OCZ PC-3200 DDR400 Platinum Edition 2GB (2x1GB) Dual Channel 2-3-2-5 timings


Now I've noticed that the bottom set has tighter timings, but the top set is the new flashy line that OCZ is advertising like crazy.. It has higher timings but its PC-4000 instead of PC-3200

I'm not too familiar with all of this so can someone tell me which is the higher quality, better functioning/faster set of modules?

Thanks all

i would go with the platinum edition pc3200.

both pc4000 and pc3200 pe can handle mad overclocks. but at least with pc3200 you can play with the timings and if you don't want to overclock, you are already on tight timings and better sys performance on A64.
