good quality ram and should easily overclock with that system. Possibly cheaper options that would do as well though...and I don't know how effective EPP has proven...someone else can probably tell you though!
I was going to get this RAM: 2GB (2x1GB) CorsairTwinX XMS2, DDR2 PC2-6400 (800), 240 Pins, Non-ECC Unbuffered, CAS 4-4-4-12 but that was out of stock at scan by the time the order went through. So I had to change it to this RAM what is the difference?
uh. few things. the EPP and DHX notes at the end are arguably important...look that up on scan. The latency (CAS numbers) is higher. I'm guessing that the stuff you were going to get would o/c slightly better but im no ram expert. you will probably achieve similar results, and may have had to increase the CAS from 4-4-4-12 to something like 5-5-5-15 to achieve highest FSB.
Can anyone tell me what the differences are and how much more peformance I can expect to get out or them?
the latecnies are slightly slower, i take it you are buying the 5-5-5-18 instead of the 4-4-4-12?
You wont notice a huge difference and you can always change the timings.
The 4-4-4-12 will offer a bit more head room but it's probably your CPU and motherboard that will limit you in the end anyway, so don't worry.
Can anyone explain to me more about these latencies I just do not get what they actually mean.
Really does nobody know what these latencies mean and what they mean interms of performance.
Thanks for the link it told me everything I needed to know and way more.
use a psu calculator to work out how much wattage u'll need

Oh yeah - I know all about something going "pzz" and thinking hmm which part went wrong then..!
Seriously though this forum is great if you run into any probs - it's like having 1000's of people building it along with you!
