I've got a Opteron 170 chip on order and now need to chose the memory to go with it. I don't know that I can afford Eclipses normal recommendation of:

But Ballistix seem to also be popular. I was looking at maybe these:

or one of these:

Or any other suggestions?

Thanks!
 
The Crucial BallistiX PC4000 Tracers are _the_ best, no doubt. I love them! 2x1gig is sooo sweet!
 
i have 2x512mb sticks of ballistix in my rig being oc'ed as we speak.. it's awesome when it comes to oc'ing (my sticks do just under 260mhz stable at 2.5-2-2 with 2.8v and around 300mhz with 3-3-3), just make sure you keep the sticks cool with a fan
if you get em, i'd try to get em from newegg, because i'm almost certain you will get double sided sticks instead of the single that's floating around

i don't know if the dual pack at newegg is double or single though

or, just slightly more expensive:

Thanks Eclipse, but I was sorta trying to avoid Newegg because they now charge shipping to TN. Great service though :(

Anyway to check the part number to determine if its single / double sided that you know of?
 
the pc3200 with 5b G has a part number of 47072, and there is .16TG on the end of the model number on the stick or anti-static bag

the pc4000 with 5b G is 47073 ;)

if you order from crucial, make sure you request that you get the above and not D
 
Great info, thanks. Oh - are you running PC3200 or 4000 in your system? I'm guessing the 3200 since you knew the label on the anti-stat bag.
