RAM recommendation
I am running the following (not great I know): P4 1.7GHz Willamette (socket 478) on some generic mobo (i850e) 256mb PC800 RDRAM (sucks) Radeon 9500 pro Thermaltake purepower 480W PSU etc.. I am keeping processor (no money for upgrade on that) Upgrading mobo to Asus P4P800E-deluxe (i865PE+ICH5R controller for SATA/RAID) Will be adding some IDE or SATA drives in RAID0 later Now if my budget for memory is $200 (absolute MAX), what is the best (184 pin DDR) ram I can get? I do not intend to overclock but may just consider trying it sometime. Forgive my rather general/arbitrary question. I want your personal preferences. |

I dont think theres much point in upgrading CPU unless I get like a 3GHz or greater and this costs a lot. In any case I'm not sure I need an upgrade in that dept. more urgently than other upgrades (like ram & hdd).
Its not going to happen for the next 6-8 months (unless a mad impulse makes me do it). |
