Hey, I'm still working on putting a computer together, I've got the processor (AMD 64 3700+), the motherboard (ASUS A8V Deluxe- VIA K8T800 Pro), the video/sound cards (Radeon X800 and Audigy 2 Platinum), basically everything that I'm going to need to start building it... before I get into the whole cooling part, but now I'm at a crossroad on the RAM.
I know that DDR-2 RAM has a much higher bandwith, takes a lot less power to run then conventional DDR RAM and these are things that make it a lot better of a chip. But is it really worth getting the DDR-2 ram over conventional PC3200?
And then the next part is, if I do stay away from the DDR-2, should I opt for the PC4400 over the PC3200 for the closest to DDR-2 quality?
So many decisions, so many parts to build.
