    if the XMS runs on dual channel, go with that, corsair has good overall satisfaction with their memory, so does rosewill, but if corsair takes up a good percent of the memory market, they are bound to have good customer service and good memory, im running 2 gigs of CMX1024-3200C2PT on my system

    Go with the Corsair, it's higher quality, the latency will be much better, and you can always just buy another gig later. The thing is there's really not much need for 2gigs of ram as of yet, for almost all but the most intensive apps anyway, and that does not include gaming. 2gigs is nice but I'd buy the Corsair and see how it works for you, I can't see it letting you down.

    yeaht the only reason i have two gigs is because i lucked out on thinking i can put dual channel on one stick, but my dad felt bad for me, and got me another.

    Exfoliate if my son used $300 to buy a graphics card for his Pc I would do more than cringing.

    Ah, Addis always the voice of reason;) But even with this card I'm not exactly soaring through HL2 by any means, if you're going to build your own PC you might aswell do it right I guess.

    DO NOT BUY THE CORSAIR! You said it is registered, unless you are building a server, which from looking at the specs you don't appear to be, you don't need it. BIG waste of money. If you want to go all out on the RAM get Corsair but not ECC.

    Woah, good eyes there dude, It's true, you could get away with it but there's really no need, stick with non ECC/unregistered dude, sorry I didn't call you attention to it earlier.

    Yea, if Will Farrell was as cool as that RAM he would have gotten into the Roxbury the first time ;)

    EDIT: Kick :swear:, I just looked closer at your avatar and noticed it is a CS spray, might have to get that one.
    EDIT 2: BTW, that RAM is 2-3-3-6

    Yea, that would be cool, but very hard. But if they could concieve something so retarded in the first place I have faith that they can do it again :)
