CORSAIR XMS 1GB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400

In July 2005, I paid $95 for 2-3-2-6 1 gig DDR400 memory from mushkin.

 

That costs more, for same amount, and looser timings, nearly two years later.

 

It seems a bit insane to me. Not that memory bandwidth matters much on those computers unless you run winrar/quickpar/sfv all day, but stock cas latency 3 on $105 1 gig ddr400 is a bit loose IMO.

Save yourself the trouble and get TCCD. Most of the 2-3-2-5 or 2-3-2-6 ram, opposed to 2-2-2-5, is usually winbond ch5, which requires high voltage for good clocks, which is a pain in the butt to get to the memory. If your board offers higher voltages, they may not work right, or may mess things up.. TCCD is easier.

Corsair makes decent RAM like the one you linked, however they usually are at the top of the highest price list. Those tracer lights do nothing other than look pretty if you have a windowed side door on your case. be aware too that the height of those tracers are taller than standard RAM without the blinky lights. If you have a large heatsink that overhangs the cpu socket it may be an issue.

THEnumber337's link from OCZ is a solid choice too.

Either way you will be fine, but you will spend more buying Corsair products
