Kids Please help
Hello everybody!
I hope you can help little ol' me. 08.25.2003 I'm going to buy a new PC: Athlon XP 2800+ on a mobo MSI K7N2 and a Maxtor HD.
Which memory should i choose?Kingston or TwinMOS?Would it be better if I put 2X256mb DDR or 1X512mb?I also dunno what cooler to buy. Volcano 6CU,9, or 7+ OR GlacialTech IGLOO 2310 or 2410.
Please help me!
Thanx

You need to watch for the ratings on your hsf's. I don't believe any of those hsf combos will protect a 2800+. OC'ing? If not, why not a retail cpu/hsf combo.

Welcome to TechIMO!

I've herad some good things about the TwinMos memory. You should get 2 x 256mb modules to take advantage of the DDR dual channel operation of the nForce2 chipset.

Yup that works too. Either one of those memory manufactures will work for you.

They are about the same quality. No real difference. I belive TwinMos sells matched sets of ram for dual channel use though.
