What's more important/faster/better for duel channel memory,
Enhanced Latency or Enhanced bandwidth? Why?

I want nice quality sticks, what are your thoughts on Muskin and OCZ ram?

    Get a Athlon 64 system. Seirously, there is no need for a Athlon XP no more. Its dead :bowdown:

    I have the expensive mushkin stuff with BH5. Best memory i have ever had to be honest. If you get an DFI Infinity or Lanparty, this is what you can expect:

    those a64 2800+/3000/3200 are not dual channel. just keep that in mind.
    only the opteron/fx's are.

    here is 6.6gb/sec on my Oced FX (before the prommy).
    im hitting 6.8-6.9gb/sec now.
