This is meant for those of you who are looking to buy new memory for your rig. I will try to make it as comprehensive as I can, so if there is anything you think I missed, feel free to post and let me know
That said, let's get to work. I'll divide the important topics into seperate posts so that you can go and read that post directly instead of having to look through one big post for info that pertains to your situation.
The types of DRAM - Which does your system need?
Memory Timings and Speed - How important it is for performance
Memory Size - How much is needed, and why
The Memory itself - What you should get based on the above information
Keep in mind that this thead will be a work in progress. i plan to add some info on the various timings at some point (after i finish up that part of the review for EclipseOC), and a more thorough list of ram chips when i get the time
