Hey all, Up until now all my systems were DDR1, i know how what rating i want, what timings i'm going after, i know what the default voltages are and how mutch i can push them based on what type of memory it is etc. etc.
I dont know any of this about DDR2,
Generaly i see DDR2 800 or above being what to shoot for, but i have no idea on how to judge the sticks because i dont know whats a good latency rating for them, whats normal and what sucks. Or how mutch this matters
I also dont know what are considers the good brands for DDR2
Or default voltages
Another thing i'm looking for is the diffrence between 1gig sticks and 2,
I'm used to the standard shooting for a gig of ram going with lowest timings/highest clock possible using 2x512s,The timings in particular, last system i built if you went with 1 gig stick instead of 2x512s you took a hit to latency, is that still the case with ddr2 etc. etc.
