Personally I'd go for the PC3200 DDR400

Delivery is free in UK

£31.71 for a 512Mb stick of PC3200 CAS 3. The price includes VAT and delivery.

£39.92 for two x 256Mb sticks of PC3200 if you want to take advantage of the board's dual memory mode. Again, the price includes VAT & delivery.

Agree with Mucks for good all round memory and a good customer service, you can't really go wrong with Crucial

cool thanks

so if i took the dual memory option of two of 256mb
would this show a big difference in speed, over just one 512mb stick?

how do i set up dual memory?

Not a great deal, no, to be honest.

You don't. Just put the memory in two matching coloured slots and the board sets it up automatically.

I think it only makes a difference with memory intensive tasks, but even then still not much difference.
