Hello Everyone.
I have a quick memory question for anyone that can help me out. I just picked up an Athlon XP 2500+ and and Epox mobo. I need to get some ram, and was planning to order from Crucial.
The problem I have is that I am not sure if I should go for the 2700 or the 3200 DDR. The reasoning for me is that since the system only runs at 333 mhz anyway, the 3200 wont help me out much now, but will be better if I upgrade in the future.
The other issue I have is that the CAS timings are different on the chips. The 2700 is CAS 2.5, but the 3200 is CAS 3.
Since the cost difference between the two is negligible (sp?) Im really wondering if the 2700 running at 333 mhz and CAS 2.5 will be faster than 3200 at CAS 3.
Thanks all in advance for your help!
