I have decided that i will be building a new core (mobo, cpu,mem) system in 2-3 months. I have pretty much decided that i will be getting a Athlon 3200+ for the processor and the mobo will basically be whichever one i can get with the most I/O ports on it, (i have a lot of junk hooked up to my comp) as most bench's i have seen are only different by a couple of percentage points. I have decided the mobo will be a VIA chipset however.
the only thing that is still up in the air is the memory. at first i was concerned about cost, but as i read more i realize that good and poor memory can make a large difference in a system. i want at least 1 gb, 1.5 would be better and 2 would be best. Money is sort of an issue, but i am willing to adjust my priorities for a substantal performance increase. I cannot stress enough the importance of quality.
What do other [H]'s think would be a good choice of memory for me. corsair is the only one that i can think of. but as i look on the net, they seem to be alittle overpriced. or should i just get over the price and realise that i cannot have my cake and eat it too?
Please advise
