New RAM on GA-7N400 Pro 2 question
I currently have 1 512 MB PC2700 (333) memory module and would like to go
up to 1 GB. Should I get another matching memory module, or is it worth it to get a set of matching PC3200 (400) memory modules and try to sell the old PC2700? I mean each module cost about $75, is there really that much difference between DDR333 and DDR400, or does the cache pretty much even things out? |

For what it's worth I had two matched sticks of Kingston 3200/400. I had all
kinds of problems. Re-boots lock-ups etc. Switched to Corsair and everything settled down. Just for kicks I reinserted one of my Kingstons to go to 1.5 gig and I'm still OK. Been several months now. From what I've read here there's not that much difference between 333 & 400. I'm using a 3200/400 CPU and I just matched everything up. I think I would just get another stick of 2700, 400 can be tricky and cause problems you don't need. Rudy "William C" wrote in message ...
