thinking about getting the DFI LANPARTY UT NF590 SLI-M2R/G Socket AM2 Newegg.com - DFI LANPARTY UT NF590 SLI-M2R/G ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail and the AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ Windsor 2.6GHz Newegg.com - AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ 2.6GHz Socket AM2 Processor - Retail what Memory should i get? :x:
Crucial's Ballistix line or Corsiar's XMS2 seem to be the most widely used. PC2-6400 would be a good starting place if you're looking to overclock (I'm kinda assuming you are, given the DFI LP board).
Crucial? Newegg.com - Crucial 1GB (2 x 512MB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail XMS2 Newegg.com - CORSAIR 1GB (2 x 512MB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail these ok? or should i get one GIG stick...
Since you'll need 2 equal sticks of RAM to take advantage of the dual-channel memory function widely in use--including on your motherboard--you're better off purchasing a memory kit with two sticks instead of a single 1GB stick.
