I'm looking at putting together a new worksetation; nforce4, athlon64 (3500+ 90nm, of course), a couple of 6600GT's in SLI (I'm more of a coder than a gamer).
What I'm stumped on is memory. All of the nice, low latency memory I've found (OCZ, etc) seems to only be available in 512MB modules. I definitely need 2GB of memory now, and the ability to upgrade to 4GB in the next year or two (plus, my understanding is that using 4 x 512MB is inherently slower on the athlon64 platform).
Can anyone recommend some performance memory that's available in 1GB modules? I don't need or want things that beep, have LCD's, glow blue, etc.
Thanks
