Another Comp Build Post

Well, I've done some more research on the board, and a few people have been using the Corsair Value Ram with no problems. The Kingston would probably work too, but I'll be on the safe side. Also, are there any advantages/disadvantages with going with a single 1G stick, rather than 2x512mb sticks? The price is the same, actually a couple bucks cheaper for the single stick. Plus that would leave 3 empty slots for future upgrades. The only noticeable difference is the CAS latency for the 1g is 3, while the 2x512 is 2.5. Thanks again.


Edit: Also, is there a big advantage in getting the AMD 3700+ San Diego processor over the 3200+ Venice? The only noticeable differences to me are the operating frequency runs at 2.2ghz rather than 2.0, and the L2 cache is 1mb rather than 512kb. Would it be worth the $75 to me?
