could somone explain to me waht the x-x-x-x numbers represent.

I plan on gettin Corsair XMS 512mb for 70$

the timing is 3-3-3-8, I was just wondering if I could get somthing faster for less. And the nf4 mobos are picky about the type of ram so thats why i was geting this one

go to mobo website and they should have a list of compatible memory... corsair is almost always a safe bet... the timings arent as important as they used to be, i got caught up in the hype and spent mad money on my memory, its the best corsair had at the time but i didnt need it... as long as your FSB is 800 u should be fine, your not gonna need anything faster...

are you adding this memory with the memory you alrdy have or replacing it???

Actualy im building a whole new system, right now im on my moms mac.. :x

and uh it says the FSB is integrated into the chip, its a AMD 64 3200, with the venice core.

You can get a gig for just about 80$

Get a sli motherboard!!! BLuebarry said he just built a comp with a sli motherboard in it and he says it runs super fast

SLI is only if you intend on using dual videocards... thats a shit load of money... two F*CKING videocards... anyone who wants dual videocards is gonna spend at least 500 on videocards alone... nice if u have it... but SLI DOESNOT provide twice the performance... the best i've seen is about 30% increase performance... not worth it IMO...

where are you buying your hardware?? my suggestion is to buy from either

www.newegg.com

www.zipzoomfly.com

between those two you'll find the best price / shipping/ customer service you can find...

i'm curious... can you tell me exactly what your buying..

Here are some screenshots of CPU-Z in action.





I didnt read this but, the title should speak for itslelf and it can most likley do a way better job at trying to explain the inner workings on technical shit 99% of the world lacks to even pronounce.
