I have components for following rigs ordered and some parts arriving, except for the memory for rigs 1&2, I want to order it today. Is the Corsair 400mhz pc3200 2x512mb dual channel a good choice? Any comments on rest of components? Mostly gaming use.
Thanks

For gaming you could go with some performance modules DDR500 or higher rated modules. OCZ, Crucial, Kingston, all good brands.

For office work and general application, its best to stay away from performance modules and stick with standard PC-3200 (DDR400) CL3 modules.

Corsair is a good brand. As long as you buy matched pairs you will be fine for a dual-channel motherboard; it's not neccesary to buy a dual-channel kit.

Maybe some other guys could recommend some good performance modules.
