My current system thats coming to the end of its life is based on a s478 pentium 4 (it was built for encoding). I know many of you also went for a64 over lga775 for obvious reasons.
This leaves me (and perhaps some of you) with a bit of a problem. Im planning on a conroe system as soon as its viable and i have no idea whats good in the world of DDR2.
I have always been prepared to spend a bit extra to get decent ram but not loads because i know its not good value for money compared to a faster CPU or more ram.
Basically whats good to look out for? I want 2gb and capable of high speed because im going to overclock my conroe as far as its happy to go on water and i like to stay at 1:1.
Now, i could just go with what the manufacturers claim and get a set rated at high speed with decent latency but then i will end up paying a fair amount when there are often better overclocking memory rated less favourably.
I feel ive ranted a lot over nothing and its probably very messy to read, but if you understand id be happy to hear what you have to say. Thanks.
