Most of that list I like, except I keep trying to tell people lately about this RAM deal that Mushkin is having. I just got it in Tues. - 2x512 of what they're calling their "Promo Build". It's $139./per + $6. shipping.
It's on an excellent Mushkin PCB (IMHO, Mushkin makes the best PCB's for memory sticks in the biz), and it has the same Winbond BH-5 mem chips as Corsair XMS PC3500! But the clincher is: it's full 2-2-2 CAS!, not 2-3-2, etc. I am sure it will o/c to 3500 speeds easily, and I'll find out as soon as I get an o/c'able mobo.
Check it out at http://www.mushkin.com/epages/Mushkin.storefront
Also, I remember seeing Sharky recommending Mushkin PC3200 in their January High-End Gaming Rig

And for further reference, check this link

...you'll see that Corsair isn't "the only game in town". Anyway, good luck building yer rig! :)

That really is an incredible deal. Seems the Mushkin whupped up on Corsair in the Anandtech article...;)

You know it!
Proves that in certain rigs (Intel 875; nForce2 Ultra 400) using the PC3500 mem range, the Musky PC3500 Level II kicks ANY and ALL serious forms of a$$!
Just wish I could afford it!

I just want two 512MB DDR DIMMS, (Wait, there is no DualDDR on Intel Boards is there?) and I want them to have CAS timings of 2-2-2-5-T1, and I want them to run at 400MHz (PC3200). They have to be good quality and reliable though, y'know? I dont want them to break after I turn the PC on.
Goddamnit! Those are PC3500 dimms!
-
Here is another question about RAM. should I get more RAM, (As in 2gigabytes, 4x512Mb DIMMs of say, PC3200 Memory) or faster memory. (2x512MB PC3500 DImms)
I mostly game, and do 3ds Max work.
