Earlier, I (stupidly) asked what memory would be good for my IC7 board. I'm using a 2.4GHz P4C, 512MB Kingston ValueRAM PC3200, and I don't overclock. (The board has the new northbridge fan - I don't know what version that is - and I've upgraded the BIOS to version 19.) I want to get a gig a memory (my first choice was the Mushkin Level One PC3200) that has low latency (around 2-3-2-6) for around $200-$250, but the majority of the RAM available now use CH-5 chips. Provided that I don't overclock anything (don't ask why...), will it be alright to use memory with CH-5 chips? Or should I just say "F- it" and wait a month to buy the Mushkin Level Twos?
