hi,

i'm about to embarq on building myself an "anus" to put Nuendo and possibly HaLION 2.0.

i need some advice to choose the memory.
the mobo i'm considering is ASUS P4PE with a Northwood 533MHz (i might not afford the 3GHz HT)

i know the max is 2GB: is 2GB an overkill?
if not, how do you organize that into 3 DIMM slots?
do you have to get matched pairs?
i know i need DDR333 184-pin, but which one to get?
Corsair seems to be recommended by Asus.

there's a lot of difference in price; i'm confused; and that's just Corsair; there's also Crucial in [[url=http://="http://www.komplett…"]that list[/]="http://www.komplett…"]that list[/].

can someone shed some light on this matter, i'm lost :confused:

thanx in advance,
