    Which are the best memory modules (simple or dual channel) for these system setup:

    AMD Athlon 3200+ 939 venice core
    Asus A8N SLI premiun
    EVGA 256mb Geforce 6800+ GS
    samsung spinpoint 160gb serial ATA II

    Thank you

    By simple you would I guess be refering to Single?

    even so, you are well advised to go with Dual Channel on that system to get the best out of it, ut remember to get a matched pair pack of memory, something like this Corsair 1GB DDR XMS3200C2 Pro TwinX ( 2x512mb ) matched pair ( there are many other good memory retailers and mine was just a suggestion as I was looking at that memory at this point in time )


    Other good makers are

    Muskin
    Geil
    OCZ
    Crucial

    Yes I meant single, thank you for your suggestion Halo......Corsair are a bit expensive, i heard OCZ had the best DDR3200 (i think the platinum Rev.2) memory because of he price and performance, is that right?

    yes cannot fault your suggestion as on OCZ, as I mentioned in my list those companies supply good memory... do get a matched pair ( I hate to stress this but it will remove any compatibility or performance issues ) and the platinum series are great, but do some searchs of reviews.

    Ive made research about this OCZ PC3200 Platimum rev. 2 it says in most of the reviews that beats the corsair memory in price and performance, i want the perfect memory for my pc so what do you think, do you have friends that also can say something about? ....thanks for your help

    personally, i like patriot and corsair xms. really fast, oc's great, and cheap :) Id really like to see where you are comparing your prices tho, ive found that corsair is cheaper than ocz :confused: and yeah i agree with hale, get a matched pair. if you think you may be upgrading again soon then maybe 2 x 1gig sticks. There is a very minimal, if any at all, performance difference between 1 gig and 2 in modern games but looking to the future, id go for 2 gigs instead of buying 1 gig now and another later.

    hello Viper Boy, thanks for your opinion, i think the corsair memory you show me its not the right competitor for the ocz memory I was talking about, the corsair memory (TWINx 3200 1024C2) its out of his league thats because its 99$, the corsair memory that competes directly with the one i told ya from OCZ its the TWINX 1024 - 3200XL , and as you can se in this link its around 20 bucks more than the OCZ.

    You dont buy online? I order all of my parts from Newegg, usually they are the cheapest you can find. You dont want to buy anything from BestBuy, you can get it half price at Newegg or Buy.com ;)

    Good Luck!:)
