In a few weeks/months I'll likely be upgrading to an Athlon X2 (probably 4200/4400) setup with an ASUS A8N SLI Premium mobo. I'd like to go with 2GB of memory. I doubt I'll be overclocking too much, but I'd like to have it as a possibility. What would be some good memory for me? I'd like 1x1GB sticks.

Currently I have 2x512 Corsair XMS PC3200, which seems to be bad so I need to send it back. In the mean time I'd like to replace it with the new 2GB of memory if possible. So is there anything I could use in my old system that I'll also be able to use for my old system (sig)?
 
im likin my gskill 2gb pc4000 kit that im using, works great on my a8n sli premium

they make a 2gb 3200 kit too, the price difference is like 10 bucks though. the 3200 kit has 2-3-2-5 timings iirc, 4000 kit has 3-4-4-8

So do you think I'd be better off with the 3200 speed? I've always heard tighter timings are better and I won't be overclocking too much so I don't think I'd need the 4000 speed. But if I got a 4400X2 how high could I o'c with the 3200?
 
id imagine it would be about the same as the OCZ sticks with the 2-3-2-5 3200 timings, they get to about 220mhz and crap out.

if you think the 3200 is better for your needs, though, by all means get it. i got the 4000 cuase i needed 250mhz, and timings dont matter much with a64. they mattered much more on aXP.
