Which RAM?

OCZ PC-3200 OCZ400512V25
or
Corsair 512MB PC3200 (400MHz) CL2.5 VS512MB400
Both are 2.5, which made me chose them over the slower Kingston/Samsung which where almost the same price but CL3.
So?

I'd go with the OCZ. Go Dual Channel if you can.
btw rune do you run the text version of F@H?

I run the regular install of [Email]F@H[/Email], altho it never comes up in my tray on boot for some reason. Still in the process list tho. If i shut down the process and restart (F@H) again it'll show up in tray. 
Anyway, i install the console version on PC i dont usualy manage, like family/GF etc so they cant fuck around with it too much. ;P
btw: any reason for choosing OCZ? I was thinking Corsair cuz i hear so much good about them, but i wasnt sure. Have any info i should know?

you can never go wrong buying from a company with a history of customer satisfaction like corsair enjoys.

Go with 1gb duel channel kit. And get just get a Value kit if your not overclocking or don't mind overclocking with a ram/cpu divider.
Ythan your article doesn't work. And I figured out F@H myself and these two neat programs that put my text window in a tray an another that tells me my time per fram, WU, ect.

I started crunching a WU last night and even on my system it's taking 33.5 hours total, 11 left.
