Hi Guys,

Have been away from the scene for a while and I am amazed at how much has change din the last couple of years. Anyways I just ordered an Intel 6700 and the new EVGA 680i MB. My question is which ram? Do I really need to pay 300$ for ram or can I get away with something around 200? I am looking for 2gigs at 1gig per stick.

I have no intentions of overclocking this system. Maybe slightly but nothing stressful.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
 
i presume you'll be gaming a bunch? you wouldn't get an SLI capable motherboard otherwise :D

for gaming, 2x1gb is probably the way to go. pick up any well known brand of value ram, ddr2-533 or ddr2-667 (preferably the latter for moderate overclocking) should suffice.. corsair, kingston, and crucial would be my top 3 picks. if you need help narrowing it down further, feel free to ask :D
 
yeah, when something says it supports ddr2-800, it almost always supports 667, 533 and 400 as well :D
