Right I am just abouts to order some new RAM for my PC. The motherboard I am buying will be the - Abit AN7 nForce2 (Socket A) Motherboard (MB-044-AB) - chipset and I am running a 2600 XP + with Windows XP (Service Pack 1 installed). I am basically looking for the fastest, most reliable and best overclocking RAM out there at the moment.
Firstly, is it worth getting PC 3700/4000 DDR Ram? I have seen 2 x 512mb of Geil PC3700 DDR RAM for £200 delivered. I will be clocking my FSB at around 200 however depending on cooling I may take it higher. Would this RAM work with this mobo? It supports Dual DDR 400 RAM and all 3 slots can be used.
Would it be worth the extra money to get PC 3700 RAM or would PC 3200 RAM do? I am looking for the best RAM with the lowest latencys for high end gaming. Money isn't really an object so just fire away with your suggestions.
Cheers!

The DFI boards let you change the multipliers, so CPU speed is independant of FSB.

Yeah any PC3200 from TwinMOS is usually good for 233mhz or so.

FSB of RAM should also be linked to your CPU FSB. So if the CPU can only go 200mhz before you get problems then its best to keep the FSB of the RAM the same. PC3200 is 200mhz but can be overclocked depending on the RAM.
Really depends on what money you have and what you will do with it. If your going to only go 200 FSB then get PC3200, even with 210 FSB PC3200 should be ok, especially if they had heatsinks.

DFI boards 0wn. The customer service is excellent as well, i have a DFI representative added to msn messenger, if i have any problem i just drop him a message. How many companies have that?
Nice try but no cigar. The AN7 is inferior to the NF7-S because Abit's engineers left to join DFI. This is why you're going to buy the DFI NFII Ultra Infinity - available from cpucity.co.uk and hopefully SR if they have any sense.
I would recommend two sticks, say 2x256mb, of TwinMOS PC3700.
