Well, if it's a gaming machine, then the type of ram (RDRAM, DDR, etc.) is irrelevant. Cheapest SDRAM now can cope with the demands of the games like counterstrike. It's a no brainer, pick up the cheapest and ramp it up to 128Mb, 256Mb or higher which your motherboard can support. The few pesos you save goes to a faster harddrive or a video card. Gaming like Counterstrike and other games needs a fast harddisk, not the 5600, but the 7200 rpm, udma 33/66/100 harddisk. You can feel the response and speed. regards, Andre M.
