    Getting new system.... Memory Question???

    Well I am getting a new system so far this is what I am getting



    -Intel Pentium 4 1.6A GHz 512K Socket 478 Processor $132.00
    -SOYO P4S DRAGON ULTRA DDR 333 SIS645/961 MOTHERBOARD $159.00

    I have everything else.
    I just need to know what is the best memory? So far this is what I have slated to get.

    -2 X CORSAIR MEMORY CMX512-2700 Cas2 PC2700 DDR RAM 333MHz w/ Heat Spreader $398.00

    Is there any memory better then this? This should OC pretty good Right?

    Thanks

    Get Samsung PC-2700 DDR. Overclocks the best.


    Nice system overall. You'll reach 2.1Ghz or more with nice coolings.
    Post screen shots after you get it working.

    I have always been a little lost on the cas latency. I thought that cas 2 is better then cas 2.5?

    The samsung is only produced in cas 2.5 and not cas 2.

    I am guessing that you will not beable to OC memory that is CAS 2 because It would become too hot and unstable?

    With that in mind Corsair has a new memory module out which is able to clock up to "185 MHz with CAS latency of two cycles (2-3-3, 1T command rate), and 166 MHz with ultra-low CAS latency (2-2-2, 1T command rate)."



    Would this be a good bet?

    I think I need to take this to OC forum. Cause now I have a question about HD's.

    Yeah thats good too, but Samsung PC-2700 is better. Its CAS 2.5, but you can boost it to CAS 2. I think. But hey, it's just my opinion.
