How about the ASUS p4c800 deluxe, very good, especially for games. Maybe Kingson Hyper X memory.

Is he planning to overclock or not?? If you search this forum you'll find a few names continually pop up with regards good quality RAM, those being Kingston, Corsair, Geil and Mushkin. I've also heard OCZ recommended

is it a pentium C?
DDR400 / PC3200 should be fine if it is. And if you want to overclock get PC3500 or PC4000 depends on how much you want to overclock though.

make sure to get two sticks of 256 and put them in slot 0 so you can get some Hyperthreading going on.
 Some older games don't work with HT though =( It is okay though... |
