Okay, my budget is getting tight and with RAM prices tighter every day. I'm looking at building an A64 system with an nForce3 250gb board (as soon as I can get my hands on the mobo). The system primary goal in life is to game, game, and oh did I mention gaming. I don't overclock, and I'd like to get 18 months+ out of the system. I've had my current rig much longer.
The question is how much trouble am I in if I buy one stick of 512MB PC3200 now and another 512MB in the fall. This isn't a dual channel board, so that shouldn't matter. I'm guessing I'd still need to match the timings (I'm looking at 2-3-2 for the first stick).
Also, Will 512 be enough (Win XP Home OS)?
