Ordering stuff for a new system. This is what I planning on getting so far:
Abit NF7-S V.2.0
AMD 1700+ JIUHB:0310XPMW (no more WPMW's at excaliberpc)

I just can't decide on the memory. I'm going with twin modules by either OCZ or Corsair. If i get OCZ, is the pc-3500 worth spending the money on instead of the pc-3200?
Not in too much of a hurry. Was going to wait, but I want a 0310 before they sell out.

I've tried both multiple times, and overall, the Corsair seems to do better for me. It's a bit more pricey, but sees to be more consistent. The OCZ was not "bad" at all and ran it's rated speeds, it just failed to impress by not running much higher.

I've tried many many many brands of ram as well, and I still end up going back to the Corsair. It simply has quality that goes above and beyond the rated specs, and seems to always work in systems.

Having just ordered...I went with a twin pack of Corsair PC3200-LL. I chose this over the 3500 because I beleive the modules are higher quality. But really, high quality 3200 is probably nearly the same as low timing 3500.

Yup, their PC3500 stuff and their PC3200LL stuff are the same chips with different default speeds and timings.
