I'm getting ready to build a new system. I'm probably going to buy an ABIT Fatal1ty (hate the name) AN8 because it will do lazy man's overclocking and has the features I want. Where I'm having trouble is picking out the RAM. I've been out of the loop for the last two years so I'm not up on the latest. I want a little headroom for a little overclocking but I'm not a huge overclocker.
I've had this stuff: http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820231006 recommended to me, but christ, it's almost $300! and I wonder if my money would be better spent on some of the value RAM mention in this article: http://www.anandtech.com/memory/showdoc.aspx?i=2392&p=16 It runs about $80, much cheaper. I'm really looking for the best value for my money plus a little headroom for a little overclocking in case I want to push it up sometime.
What would people recommend?
Also, does anyone know of any good articles that I can read up on to get up to speed on this? I feel I'm too much behind the curve these days....
Thanks in advance.
