Im planning on getting a e6400 and an Asus P5B delux wifi. I'm probably going to be running around 450FSB and I really dont know what speed of ram to get.I dont really know what the ddr2 1000/800 equates to in mhz, as i am only familiar with DDR. I know with a64, there really isnt a problem with running a divider, but i hear this isnt the case with intel.

I was looking at these for DDR2 800

and this for ddr2 1000

What speed/model should i get?

As you can see, im on a budget and would like to keep it close to $200 for the ram.
 
That's not even hard. Just buy the Crucial DDR800. It uses micron chips so it will hit DDR1000 easily.
 
im a nub with this, so thats why i ask :)

I might not be able to buy this weekend, and thats when the price of that ddr2 800 ballistix goes up to $300. what then would you recommend if i cant get the ballistix at that $188 price?
 
ive heard great things about the teamgroup with ddr. let me know eclipse!

BTW, why do you say zzf over newegg? the $100 mir?
 
no, i was saying that if newegg raised the price a bunch, zzf is still an option ;)
 
ah ok :)

When do you think you're going to get the team sticks in? They seem pretty promising.
 
:) its my bday coming up and i think and maybe an upgrade to a watercooled e6400 would be in line :)

looked up the reviews of the ddr2 800 ballistix and theyre hitting 1104 mhz! damn
