do the right thing and get at least 512 mb of ram in there
judging by your sig you're a little bit of a ram freak,but I agree 512 is a minimum for a computer nowadays

Well also yea..i thought of that too.
I got the AMD 2400 chip for $100
and I got the Gigabyte K7 Triton for $70
There was a AMD2400+ECS motherboard deal for $115, but ESC MOBO SUCKS!!

sdram works on only one cycle of the ram. basically, the ram is only doing something usefuly either when it's on an up cycle or a down cycle. ddr ram works on both the up and down cycles, hence Double Data Rate (DDR)

If your board supports DDR, go with that, the higher the mhz memory the faster. I use PC2700 DDR (333MHz).

on the ddr speed subject, i stupidly bought corsair xms3500 ddr ram. it's marketed to be able to run at 434MHz and i was running it at 400MHz. however, there's no real point running your ram faster than the fsb of your processor, the ram just basically sits waiting for something to do
i suppose the benefit of me buying such good ram is that i can run at very tight timings (2-2-2-5) at 333MHz

Absoloutley nothing wrong with ECS mobo's. I've built several machines using them and all have been extremely stable and reliable, not to mention reasonabaly fast, for the price. I actually recommend them along with MSI boards.
