Hello all,
I am currently choosing parts for a DAW system, used strictly for audio.
Priorities are stability and speed (within a budget).
I will not game on this computer, and have no plans to overclock. With that in mind, Im trying to decide between Kingston and Corsair DDR 400 RAM. After researching it, it seems Corsair barely out performs Kingston. I've always known Kingston to be a trusted name though, and I would honestly go for stability over speed. Which ever way I go, I am looking at the 1GB Dual Channel Kits, which I dont believe Crucial offers.
Another decision I am trying to make is between their value series and higher end models. I definitly like the price of their value series, but if going with their Extreme or HyperX series will actually bring a noticable performance difference, then I will spend the extra money.
Are these higher end series worth the extra money for audio processing?
-----------------------------------
Parts I've chosen so far:
Antec 4U Rackmount Case w/400W PS
ASUS P4C800-E DELUXE MB
Intel P4 3.0C
High Tech ATI RADEON 7000(VE) Dual Head Video Card
Thanks,
Scott
