So I'm almost done buying all the parts for my new computer, and I have only the processor, memory and motherboard left. I'm already pretty set on the motherboard and processor I am getting, but which memory to get is another question.

Here are the two I am considering:

http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=20-145-489

One is a pair of PC3200's and the other is a pair of PC4400's. Which is better? The slower PC3200 with a very good CAS latency(2-2-2-5), or the faster PC4400 with an okay CAS latency(3-4-4-8 )?

Does your MB support both types?? Also, availability a little later down the road. Which one is going to be easier to get. I would probably go with the memory that will be easier to get later on. That way if you want to add more later on it will be easier - and cheaper - to get. Personally I don't think you will see that huge of a difference between the 2.
