DDR II 3200 or 4300

Nukem

Quick Question, Hope someone can help.
I have been looking at building my own comp and i decided on a 3.0 GHz HT
CPU so i have to get a Motherboard with LGA775 Socket to match. Thats fine but you...

uh... ok.

nice sig btw Nukem anyone else remember all the sites from mid ninties that had gifs like that?

Did he hit submit to early or something? :rolleyes:

make sure the chip cpu you buy is compatabible with that board. they are very new and use a non-pinned design of processor.

Yes and I hated them ALLLLLLL - Hi!! this is my AOL webpage!! It's at times like this you need a "getting sick" emoticon

happens to us all sometimes, dont take any notice of them nukem, sure it was you're first (boards)time.

Are animated gifs not allowed in sigs anyway?

As the above post said its clearly his first time that being his first time, i've never read the rules and i only found out animated sigs we're not allowed when someone else got given out to. Cut him some slack.

:rolleyes: Gifs allowed no one told me and there is no warnings up so, Damned if i do Damned if i dont.Ill take them off if im asked. :rolleyes:

About the RAM, I've checked the Processor and the Motherboard and the board will usually take DDR II 3200 or 4300 ,its that 4300 is well expensive is it worth it ??????

There are a slew of new i9xx series boards coming out which don't require DDR2.

DDR2 is twice the cost for no bandwidth gain and slower latency compared to DDR.
Even Rambus wasn't that bad, it still gave you more bandwidth at least.

DDR2 will be a mass-market memory tech in about 2 years when they scale the frequencies high enough to negate the latency problems, but for now there's no advantage.
"DDR1" in Dual-channel whips it in price-performance.

Cheers for that i over looked a few Motherboards and there is one that does have the right socket for the HT CPU and does 3200 DDR so a 1GB CORSIR 2*512 and a 3.0Ghz HT Processor will do very nicely.
