    memory question

    so, after some debating( mostly with myself and my wallet) i have determined my new build will be an AMD, not the sandy bridge. i can get my CPU and a MoBo for what i can get just the cpu for. while its not the latest and greatest, its a good CPU, will last me a while, and is nothing to sneeze at. plus, ive never bought or paid for the latest or greatest, nor do i want to.

    Newegg.com - AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor HDZ965FBGMBOX


    that being said, what memory sped do i want with this? the mobo i got i can go anywhere from 800-2000. i am guessing i want the ddr3 1600? or do i want 1333? hell, do i want to go faster? i am no techy when it comes to OC'ing, or what any of the cas numbers or the ?-?-?-? numbers on RAM mean.

    i can get 8GB of 1600 for 100$, i can get 8GB of 1333 for 84$

    Unless you are going for some 3D rendering RAM won't matter. Get the cheaper one. I got the expensive ones just to brag, like almost everyone else.
