Some questions about my new comp

Your RAM should be fine.

What flavor is your 3000?
Venice?

3200 should be fine for your ram speed, unless you plan some major OCing. Even then, many sticks are using higher speed chips but underclocked to reduce the number of clock cycles. If you need to you can almost certainly just increase the number of cycles as you increase the speed. Just increase all the timings by 25% (such as cl2->cl2.5) and you should be fine.

Strange thing is though, the ultra cheap 2x256MB sticks I had left over were far better for OCing than the new 2x1GB sticks. Still, I haven't had much chance to play about with them yet so there's still time for improvement.

Yup.


Thanks lynx. Don't know if I will be OCing this comp any time soon, maybe by the time I do I will have better ram. The stuff I got was the cheapest I could find on tigerdirect.
