Just sent this by accident to Julian... whoops... I didn't click reply to list. Doh! Anyway... mail which was supposed to be sent to the LUG is below... Quoting Julian Hall <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxx>:
*Dual Channel* Make sure the board supports it, not all boards do (although I'd guess this is disappearing with the new boards).
One thing to bear in mind, Socket 754 motherboards DO NOT support dual channel. It's a limitation of the processors themselves.
Crucial memory (2Gb kit) - £151. OCZ (2Gb kit states specifically for dual channel) - £121.75 (I have the 1Gb OCZ kit and they specify in the description they are matched for dual channel - be wary of just picking two of anything - OCZ guarantee they'll work).
I'd second Crucial memory, it has a lifetime warranty and they can match the memory modules up to the board.
YMMV depending on what board you pick, CPU, memory etc, but with this lot you could get board, CPU and memory for under £200 (ex VAT and dely).
Steve, how much are you planning on spending, and are you planning on building the system yourself from parts or would you prefer a pre-built system?
