upgrading my motherboard, gfx and ram but keeping my cpu for now
cpu is 3500 venice which is 100% prime stable at 2.57 and gaming stable up to 2.65.
currently run 2x512 geil ultra platinum 4200 with cpu at 265x10
want to upgrade to 2 gig ram so I am looking at pc4000 to hopefully run at 250x10.5 if possible or 257x10 if I can overclock the ram a bit
the two choices based on my price range that I can see are
corsair xms4000 2x1gig
gskill pc4000 2x1gig
both are 3,4,4,8
Any recommendations for either?
Is either known to clock better than the other?
Any known compatibility issues with either the asus a8n's or dfi nforce4 boards? (not decided which of these yet, don't need sli.)
Has anyone got any other ram recommendations that I've not seen ?(I don't want to spend much in excess of £150)
Thanks
