RAM for my new comp

I am building a new PC and need RAM ideas. I am going with the MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum and A64 3200+

Any RAM suggestions?

Crucial XMS seems pretty, but lacks really really low latency ratings. I read OCZ Rev2 is the best, but no longer on the market.

Suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!

Corsair XMS has a variety of Low Latency and Exremely Low Latency products. I currently use the XMS PC3200LLPT, 2x512MB

Moved to the A64 nVidia Chipset Forum - I think you will get better responses here specific to your board.

Thanks, PCB.

If you're thinking of getting the Neo2, I would look at memory using TCCD chips. The OCZ 3200 Platinum Rev.2's are still available.

Is OCZ the only TCCD based chips?

No, many memory modules use TCCD chips, including GSkill which is the memory I would suggest, OCZ PC3700 Platinum, and many others.

I doubt I will be doing too much overclocking, but I am looking for best bang for my buck. Will the $300 I spend on OCZ Platinum be that much more important than a muskin gig?

Probably not. Make sure you check Mushkin's DDR Mainboard Qualification Page. It will tell you if the RAM is compatible with the Neo2.
