Just getting my final spec for this years PC upgrade. I have no idea about the DDR2 line so was wondering which 2gb corsair xms2 to buy for the intel conroe 6600. I won't be overclocking.

Thanks!

Just get the cheapest 2 GB set you can find. You don't need the high speed sets if you are not overclocking and latencies have very little impact on Conroe.

Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C5 TwinX

The above memory would suit you fine & have plenty left over if you ever want to overclock. The XMS2-5400 would also be fine, but will only save you about £15.
