need ram

I wouldn't think you need a RAM cooler. Newegg doesn't have much in the 2GB DDR catagory for under 200. Even buying seperate 1GB sticks your stuck with mostly generic brands which are out of stock anyway.

The hard drive is good.
 
Try about 2gb of Kingston Value Ram if you are not planning to oc everything. That comes out to $209.99 seen at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820134046

As far as a memory cooler that's always an option unless you are planning on cranking the memory up. It's one way to dress the inside of a case while seeing the memory cooled down. As far as the drive is concerned I will probably end up buying a pair to set an array here sometime. A pair of those would work well with a pair of WD 250gb ide drives already in use.
 
Any set PC eye listed here should work. I haven't heard of any problems with nvidia based boards and nonstandard voltage RAM.
 
Right now I have two 2gb of DDR400 PC3200 Kingston memory doing a great job on the Socket 939 AMD board here which is an Asus A8N SLI. People have had some problems with OCZ memory at times on Asus boards. And that is with a premium brand of memory there. Corsair and Mushkin have always been known for being good gaming and ocing performance types of memory.

For $241,99 newegg has a 2gb set of Mushkin PC2-5300 Enhanced performance memory seen at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820146436 The timings there were a little slower at 5-5-5-12 with a cas latency of 5.

btw ddr2 prices raised its REALLY tough to find good memory for $200.... 2gb of it at least.

yeah


i remember when a good set of RAM was $200


i had a DDR 400 C2 Corsair picked out that was around $180 and a DDR2800 C4 that was around $210
 
There are tons of good DDR2 1GB kits for < $150, when you move to 2GB they are still on the expensive side. I got 2GB of OCz stuff for $220CDN not long ago, the same set now costs $280CDN you might be best waiting for prices to drop again unless you are in need of the RAM now.
 
Going with a good brand suitable for your system will help as well. Tiger is generally higher priced then newegg here while memoryexpress.com or another vendor may have an edge. The one thing that generally keeps a good price is memory. While everything drops you look over prices on older memory at various sites and you will be a little surprised there. PC133 still sees some high prices just for being available.
 
alright well can someone please give me a link to the best ram for my mobo for 100-150
thanks
or can i do 4 sticks of 512mb's would that work?
