I am going to be getting an Athlon 3200+ with the new Epox 8KDA3+ (http://www.epox.com/USA/product.asp?id=EP-8KDA3plus) with in the next week and I am in a dilemma with the memory for it. It says it can only take up to 3200, so I am deciding on to get some nicer value ram, like
Geil Value - http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=20-144-305&depa=1
or
Corsair Value - http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=20-145-026&depa=1

or get the Corsair XMS (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=20-145-416&depa=1)

My dilemma is I can only afford one of the Corsair XMS sticks right now, but 2 of the value ram. I do not plan to overclock the memory, but I will be playing graphic intesive games like FarCry. Perhaps by the end of the summer I could get another Corsair XMS stick, but that would be in late July. So which should I get? Thanks.
 
It sounds like you should get the Corsair VS to me. It sounds like if you buy the XMS stick now and another one later, you are blowing all of your money on computer stuff. Now I know it's great to blow all of your money on hobbies that you really enjoy, but it is not a wise thing to do. If I'm wrong and you're getting some huge amount of money later in the summer, then get the XMS. Otherwise, VS.
 
Someone had posted on New Egg's reviews about the slower latency ram would possibly interfer with Far Cry, is this true?
 
Complete BS. The only thing lower latency ram will do is lower you FPS by a percent if you're unlucky,
 
You'd be better off with Buffalo PC3200/WC (DD4002-512/WC), instead of either of those Value RAMs and for roughly same price.
