Hello everybody!
I am in need of your advice. I have been building computers for the past 2 years, and I do understand the most of it. ;)

I have however not kept up with the ram market.
At the moment, I am building a gaming rig, and I need a ram configuration of 2GB.
Good memory timings, fast clock speed, good for small OC and heavy gaming. And in the budget of 200-400$

Any suggestions of gaming ram is welcome! The motherboard is a K9N SLI Platinum nForce570.
Processor is a AMD X2 5200+ @ 2.6GHz

is the ram DDR, DDR2 or what?

to get dual channel you need pairs of matching speed and size remember

I would go for the Crucial Ballistix, it's good quality RAM and OCs well.

DDR2.

Go for the kingston rams their good
look for a 1333 mhz very hard to find but super fast

if you want something good ,overclockable,fast and stable i advise you to go for the corsair's dominator [but they are a bit pricy 2 gigs will be around $190]
