Crucial Ballistix and Crucial Ballistix Tracer
After lots of time researching, I have determined I probably want to go
with a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4 motherboard. I like mwave's interface, so here is the url of the page I'm looking at: http://www.mwave.com/mwave/viewspec....iteria=BA24220 I've decided to go with the C2D E8400 CPU. I like the idea of having them assemble and test for an extra $10. Regarding memory, the board supports DDR2 PC8500 (1066 MHz). A matching pair (1GB X 2) is what I want. If I go with Crucial, my choices a ballistix BL2KIT12864AA1065 ballistix tracer BL2KIT12864AL1065 After the rebate, the first is $24.25 less than the second. What is the difference between these two, and is the difference in price justified? And speaking of price, I am wondering why the CORSAIR TWIN2X2048-8500C5D 2gb kit is double the price of the Crucial. I suppose the next step is choosing the video card, case, and power supply... I'm just starting to look at these. Do I need to purchase separate cooling fans? Regarding cases, any brands better than others? Any brands I should avoid? |
