CPU, motherboard and RAM matching question

[satimis]

Hi folks,

I'm going to upgrade CPU, Motherboard and RAM on a workstation and found following combination interesting

AMD 64 2800+ 512K
Abit KV8 Pro (I need chip supporting ncq for SATA2 HD)
http://www.abit-usa.com/products/mb/...es=1&model=176

Patriot
PC4000-512 DC 　
512MB / DDR-RAM / PC4000 　990
OR
PC4000-512 EP 　
512MB / DDR-RAM / PC4000 　790

Any matching problem?

Your comment will be appreciated. What is RAM DC vs RAM EP, DC being more expensive.

Furthermore any problem or comment in respect of running FedoraCore2 on AMD 64.

TIA

B.R.

From the reviews I've read, you rarely get any real performance boost from the dual-channel RAM.

Hi imdeemvp,

Tks for your advice.

EP = extreme performance
DC = dual channel

DC is more expensive than EP.

What will be its advantage

Hi crackers,

Tks for your advice.

In fact, DC Ram is more expensive than EP RAM
