    the amd64 chips will happily play nice with a divider, so i would say to get the corsair value select, unless you plan on overclocking, but even then, the benefits are marginal.

    as clunk says plus 2gb is better for some games and will also become the norm for vista should you be thinking of going down that route...
    AMD X2 @ 2.6Ghz, X1800XL @ 540/600
