Memory Info Request

by bob . Updated 22 years, 8 months ago

I am putting together a system with the Intel P4, 800 mhz FSB Motherboard. It is the 875PBZ.
I would like to use the fastest and best components available.
I had intentions of using DDR PC3200 400 mhz memory, but some questions arose during its consideration.
The board is compliant to 4 gigs of RAM.
I have only been able to find PC3200 400 mhz RAM in 512 meg chips. There are 4 DDR slots on this board. That would only give me 2 gigs. Are there 1 gig chips available? Where?
Also, I was reading a reveiw of the same board with the same P4 3.2 Ghz processor that was using PC3500 500 Mhz memory. Was this a misprint? Or can I actually use the PC3500? The board specs say 3200. I would certainly appreciate any help toward bringing me out of my memory confusion.
