 |  memory question Would buying 2*512 mb of corsair xms pc3200 cas 2 LL be a good choice for future minded setup (they're going into a p4 rig now but probably an athlon in two months) or are there other alternatives? (CORSAIR TWINX Matched DDR 2 x 512MB 400Mhz PC3200 CAS2 HSP LOW Latency) I need to buy more ram for my p4 farcry-setup, which I can run at 5:4 cas 2 2-2-6 if needed (it'll be about equivalent to my 233 mhz 1:1 at cas 3 3-3-7...), but I'd like to use that ram with the next setup too...

| I thought AMD A64 is going to support DDR500 in the future, i don't know the specifics. I think it's a safe buy. Most, if not all, P4E and A64 will run at 200fsb. Quote:

| yeah, but on these memorysticks, will there still be headroom to overclock? or is that unimportant with the amount of dividers on the a64 boards? do you need high memspeeds on an a64? of just tight timings, I have no idea how those dividers and hypertransportbusses work...

| Doesn't 64A run on ECC memory? If "my memory" serves me right, they do. If you could get your hands on Apacer Infineon chip by you, I highly recommend them.

 | The A64 FX runs on registered memory the A64 runs on unregistered memory no need for ECC mem

| I'll take socket 939 so I don't need registered ram... would ocz 3500 eb meet my demands? apparently (anandtech review) it'd be great with p4 and a64, go very high and perform just as good at cas 2.5 3-3-6 as a cas 2 2-2-5, and more so if you increase the speed, their review however is on a p4 setup and they come in dualkits of 2*1024 mb which would be great. I just need 1 gig+ of blazingly fast ram...

| 3500EB looks like a good solution yes.

| http://www.hofline.com/catalog/default.php has OCZ ram, they'll have the 3500EB also I guess, as soon as it becomes available on the market.
