Yeah, specs.... I'm getting way too tired. And no, I don't plan on overclocking.

Corsair:

1GB Corsair XMS DDR SDRAM PC-3200
  Specifications 

Memory Type DDR SDRAM

Frequency 400MHz

Voltage 2.6 V

Memory Timings 2-3-2-6

ECC (Error Correction) No

Corsair memory is specifically designed for rock-solid performance in the most demanding of applications. Data lines are specifically designed for noise immunity; clock lines are optimized for minimum skew. All modules use impedance-controlled printed circuit boards, with 30 micro-inches of selectively plated gold to ensure a proper interface with the DIMM socket

NonCorsair

1GB DDR SDRAM PC-3200



  Specifications 

Memory Type DDR SDRAM

Frequency 400MHz

Voltage 2.5 V

ECC (Error Correction) No

Double data rate is a type of SDRAM in which data is sent on both the rising and falling edges of clock cycles in a data burst. It is usually referred to as DDR as opposed to DDR SDRAM. PC-3200 DDR SDRAM operates at an effective rate of 400MHz.

In dual-channel configurations, this memory provides a peak bandwidth of 6.4GB/s.

Don't worry about spending the extra scratch then, but make sure you get two sticks of RAM vs. one.

Fuck No....

Of course...I dont know what the hell I am talking about...I do, afterall, only make toys.

Price difference between Pro and Home?


If you can stomach the difference, I recommend Pro....but you may never see the difference.

Also, WinXP Pro or Home? =]

[BringBackZezel]

So 2 512MB sticks @ $38 extra per stick.....compared to what?


Please post the info on both options.....also: are you going to be overclocking?

[WinstonSmith]

An extra $77 for the Corsair.

Its two 512 sticks. $38 per stick.
