Rbreb13 Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Need 2 sticks of RAM to utilize Dual Channel. It does give a slight performance increase. Also might want to look at some PC4000 unless you're planning on running everything at stock speeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital_Terror Posted January 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Ok, Bruce was telling me the same thing. How about this for the memory. Corsair XMS Extreme Memory Speed Series, (Twin Pack) 184 Pin 512MB(256MBx2) DDR PC-3200 - Retail Specification Manufacturer: Corsair Speed: DDR400(PC3200) Type: 184 Pin DDR SDRAM Error Checking: Non-ECC Registered/Unbuffered: Unbuffered Cas Latency: 2-3-3-6 T1 Support Voltage: 2.6V Bandwidth: 3.2GB/s Organization: two 32M x 64 -Bit Warranty: Lifetime more info> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital_Terror Posted January 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Also, I have a ~ $400.00 to spend. DT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rbreb13 Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Thats still PC3200. It'll allow stock speeds. The 800 MHz fsb processors run memory at PC3200 speeds as the stock setting. You need Something like this or faster if you're going to overclock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruceleeon Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 He's not overclocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rbreb13 Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 He's not overclocking. Well thats stupid with a setup like that. IMO! Then any PC3200 will do fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital_Terror Posted January 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 RB, that memory is out of my spending range Would be nice DT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsgolfman Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Yeah, I was looking at the 4000 RAM also, but can't justify the cost of $400. DT, I'm getting the Corsair PC3200LLPRO 2x512MB for mine. Even though it's the stock RAM for both our boards, I'm not oc'ing either.....yet.

jsgolfman Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Ok, I found the DDR500 memory at GameVE for $324, the CPU is about the same everywhere, ~$280 and I found the motherboard for $139 at Monarch. I'm gonna keep looking at reputable sellers and see if I can swing the 4000 memory into the budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_Ram Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 hey guys, I am limited on PC knowledge..taking class now!! (I hate school) I found some PC 4000 at this web site for decent prces! Here is web site lemme know! http://www.icentral.com/html/1stchoicememory/page103.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsgolfman Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 It has a lifetime warranty, but other than that I can't find anything on Atlas. I would stick to the RAM recommended by the manufacturer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rbreb13 Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 It has a lifetime warranty, but other than that I can't find anything on Atlas. I would stick to the RAM recommended by the manufacturer. Me too. Compatability problems are the suxxor! If nothing else you could always get a single stick now and another down the road.

Bruceleeon Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 I think he will be good with the twin 3200'z. He will get the benefit of the dual channel ddr and the corsairs are EASILY capable of running at 3500 speeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital_Terror Posted January 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 I will check them out. This deal any good? SAPPHIRE ATI 9600XT 128MB OEM $155.00 at Gameve DT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsgolfman Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 Yeah, Newegg has the same price. One thing I have heard is the fan can be kinda loud. Oh, btw, I am going with Mushkin PC3500 for my upgrade. Couldn't find any good things about the PC4000 from Corsair and the MSI MB. That's fine with me, its cheaper.

Iroc Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 If your going for 800 FSB I personally would buy nothing less than a i875 Canterwood mobo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter-killer25 Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 bad bad BAD BAD BAD.. BAD time to upgrade!! they just shot out pricecuts for processor 2.8-3.2 and they were BIG pricecuts, also when the new prescott comes out IT WILL COST EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE P4s ON THE MARKET TODAY. you just picked the worst time in the world to upgrade bud.... everything on the mobo is about to be replaced.
