No, not all DDR2 1GB sticks are the same. They use different ICs. It all comes down to the question of are you going to overclock?

or u could dish out the $200 for 2 x 1gb ddr2 sticks right now. lol. but i dont think am2 has the same problem (performance loss when using 4 sticks of ram) as s939. or at least i hope not. cuz im planning on using 4 sticks ram eventually

conroe is almost at 9sec super pi while AMD is still in the high 10s and low 20s.

I know nothing about overclocking...but if its processor speed it increases...i want to do it...i have read a lil bit about it...and that the 3200 OC's well.

EDIT* what do u guys think about this case? 2 fans gonna cut it? ...wish i could afford a Lian Li case lol.
