Hi Everyone,
Many thanks for the tremendous support I've had in these groups advising
me on CPUs and motherboards. I've now decided on the P4 Northwood 2.8C Ghz
800Mhz CPU and an Abit IC7 Intel 875P P4 Motherboard.
I am totally unsure what memory to buy. The board takes:
-- Four 184-pin DIMM sockets
-- Supports 4 DIMM Single/Dual Channel DDR 400 memory.(Max. 4GB)
-- Supports configurable ECC function
I want to get 1GB but have little idea on the pros and cons, should I get
Dual Channel? Is DDR 400 a max or a specific I must get?
The OCZ PC4000 Gold Dual Channel 2 x 512 MB DDR EL Memory and Kingston
HyperX 1GB (2x512MB) DDR PC4000 CL3 Dual Channel are both about £260
(about US$480) which seems very expensive. I'd like something cheaper,
perhaps something cheaper that I can safely overclock too?
Recommendations and advise please.
Thanks guys,
MS
