As far as I have found in my many, many hours of researching, the only real difference between value memory and more expensive memory is that more expensive memory can be overclocked.

(budget system!) I'm looking at 1gb of corsair value select, or this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145486 (xms cas3 2x1gb pc3200) the 2 gigs of xms is ends up as $135, while 2 gigs of value select is $160.

The system will probably be one of those sets of ram on a 3200+ and 6800xt. I'll be doing basic internet surfing and all the home stuff, along with playing WoW on as high settings as possible. Unless the 1 vs 2 gbs will make significant noticable improvements, I'd like to stay cheap. So, with that, what do you recommend?
