Wel this is what Im using with my athlon 3500,

It overclocks great from what I have been told but I havent tested it yet because I am going to do a few more burn in.

The memory will come in a pack of two. They are always the same speed, size, and latency. If your not overclocking to high or not at all then pc3200 is your best bet because I will run the same as your FSB.
Whatever you do dont buy registered memory though.

if you're not wanting to spend much then try a Giel dual channel memory kit

Socket 939 and the Athlon 64 3500+ takes normal DDR PC3200 Desktop memory.
It's used in a Dual Channel configuration, which is 2 sticks of memory that are accessed individually rather than at the same time.
I would suggest memory that is rated at CL2, which is the first number in the string of timings.

Corsair is always good but they cost more.
OCZ would be great!
You don't need 2-2-2-5 memory but 2-3-2-6 is would give you basicly that performance yet save you quite a bit of money.
CL2.5 is average speed and I wouldn't suggest it, afterall you are looking for a A64 3500+.

OCZ
Scroll down to 4th from the bottom
