Which Ram?
I'm gonna slap together a new rig with some parts I have laying around and was looking for some memory recommendations. I "will" be OCing. Current goods are Abit NF7S V2, Athlon XP Mobile 2500+ Barton (IQYHA 0408 RPMW). I want, at minimum, 1 gig (2x512MB sticks) PC3200 (prefer higher) and have a budget of $250.00. Some of the memory I'm curently looking at is

I prefer Crucial Ballistix DDR400 CAS2.2.2.2T1
Very good stuff, but the OCZ DDR400 Platinum REV.2 is also. As are some versions of Corsair. I would NOT recommend the Corsair you ahve linked it's "CAS3" , if you want very good and not the highest end look for CAS2.5 Take note of the 4th # in the rating ie. CAS2.5.2.3.3."6" for example. slow number there. http://www.anandtech.com/memory/showdoc.aspx?i=2145 939 performance  http://www.anandtech.com/memory/show...px?i=2226&p=19 BTW, you dont need anything faster than ddr400 if it is the good stuff. rated at CAS2 Most will still scream at DDR500+ The very good CAS2.5 will do fine if you are OCing your CPU and keep the mem below 440Mhz The big + is T1 regardless of the brand. There is a lot of slightly slower cheeper RAM that performs very well too. The question is how fast do you want to spend?

Again, you can get Crucial Ballistix DDR400 CAS2.2.2.2 T1 for about the same and it is highly rated. Unless ofcourse you want OCZ DDR400 Platnium rev 2
Ballistix $278 for 2x512 dirrect from Crucial! OCZ DDR3200 Platinum rev2 $283 at the egg Personally I'd chose either in a minute over anything else!!!
