Hi there I am getting togeather specs for a new system, something around P4 2gig, 512mb of ram but my computer store has given me a Quote with 2x 256MB DDR PC2100 Ram, is this ok or should I be getting RD Ram, dont really know the differance so hope you can help.System should be something like this.Intel Pentium 4 2.0GHZ Northwood (512k)512mb Ram DDR or RD?Maxtor 60GB 7200rpm Hard drive.Leadtek g-force4 ti4600 graphics card.Sony 21inch CPD-G520 flatscreen monitor.Soundblaster live.Intel D845BGL mainboard.Can you give me advise if this is ok or should I change anything.Thanks in advanceBarry.

Hi Barry,The P4 is designed to run with Rambus RAM (RDRAM), so if you have the cash, this is the way to go. Just bear in mind that your choice of memory (DDR versus Rambus)will require different chipsets, and hence distinct mainboards. If you can hold off your purchase unitl this fall, it should be worth the wait.
