I'd much rather have 1gb in dual channel then 2gb in single channel. And Ya i know the board would just run it all @ the lower mem clocks but what I meant is that some board will run ddr400 @ 333 if you populate all 4 slots. It all comes down to the CPU, AMD's would only use 333mhz for 4x sticks even if they are all 400mhz modules. This was not solved until the Venice cores came out (I believe the 3500+ is a Venice core). But they would still have to run 2T timing mode.

Also, it's been proven that the cost of anything more than 1gb or ram isn't worth the performance increase (yet), Win x64 will fix that for sure.

U can get the Antec NeoHE 430w supply for $80. It's SUPER quiet, decently efficient and has modular cable design. It's a good choice.

i got it for free.. prior to that i had a 1.8ghz

AMD. but it died and i had a bigass report to finish. went to my homies house and his dad had a 2.2ghz intel lying around he'd give me for free. FREE

im just saying, if your gonna buy a whole new comp, might as well get the best you can. didn't know AMD wasn't past 2.8 yet.. but oh well.

AMD > Intel

Re: Got a new computer

3500+ is prolly the venice core. Awsome core for a healthy room temp overclock. If your Bios/MB supports it, you can very safely jack it up 300-400mhz.
Im currently rocking a Venice core 3000+(1800mhz) at 2520mhz. Its rock solid w/ all games and benchmarks. Ive hit as high as 2700, but its not stable.
