Here is my favorite memory: Corsair (expensive, but the best), then
Mushkin, then OCZ. Since you are going all out on the computer, you
should look at getting their Dual Channel (for Corsair it is called
TwinX) memory setups. I would look at the 1 GB PC3200 with tight
timings such as 2-2-2-6. These chips will be quite expensive though
I base my experience off of the 32bit Intel platforms though, so you may
want to see what others suggest for speed and timings such as PC4000 at
2.5 CAS or something like that.
Also unsure if the board you are looking at has DDR or DDR2 memory. If
DDR2, I'm not sure what to recommend, but those three brand names are
exceptional. I would highly recommend getting a system with PCI Express
based board though if they make one (which will most likely use DDR2
memory)
