Iridium is on a distinguished road

Memory question..

So..even though my present mobo accepts ddr 2700 and no dual channel support It would be good for me to buy a matched pair of sticks of the highest speed I could afford to work with a future upgrade, correct?? And if so..what do you recommend, best overclockability and stability wise. KTHNXBYE

I would have to say either Corsair, OCZ, or Geil (Probably in that order, although OCZ is looking pretty good). You definately want to look for low latency and I would say atleast PC3200.

Just wondering what version of the OCZ where you all talking about, and I don't see crucial up there, I have heard good things about their ram

I currently use crucial, and it is good stable ram, it just isn't the greatest for overclocking and having low latency.
