I need some more memory but after having a look, I've come to the conclusion that I don't know what I'm looking for. I've got a budget of about £30 after VAT and I don't think I'll be overclocking anything so that's not important.
I'm on Windows XP Pro 32-bit, although thinking of upgrading to XP 64-bit (still not a Vista fan) if there's merit for it, although I'm not intending on exceeding the 4GB memory limit anyway.
I'm currently running a Socket AM2 Athlon64 4600+ on an ASUS M2N-E mobo. I'm currently using this memory Corsair 1GB DDR2 Value Select PC2-5300 and my mobo memory spec is "8GB DDR2 800/667/533 ECC and non-ECC, un-buffered memory" So I think my current memory is causing a small bottleneck. Also, my mobo only gives a max of 1.95v to the ram so that limits my options.
I've got 2 free memory slots left and I'm looking for 2GB total, don't think I'll need 4gig. Currently thinking about G.Skill 2GB DDR2 NR PC2-6400 or GeIL 2GB PC2-6400C4.
Is the extra £5 for the improved latency worth it, especially since I don't intend to overclock it?
