Default A7N8X Deluxe + Barton 2500 - Choosing between PC2700 V/s PC3200



Any comments or experiences gratefully received. Apologies if
any questions are 'silly' but I am not an expert in this area.

TIA.
Arif


I'm looking at that board since it can access two RAM sticks at once,
using a dual-RAM controller. Almost doubling the memory speed. So get
2-256M sticks, instead of one 512M.

"512MB x 2 PC2700 for 100 quid"

I think he's buying a match'd pair from the look of things

But he should go for better quality memory, pc3200, for about the same
price..

The performance increase is about 1%
It does not "almost double the memory speed".
