Ok thanks for your replies...now i've got still 2 questions about the
memory:


- Can you notice the difference between cl2.5 en cl2 memory ?

- Since i've bought a athlon xp 2600 on 333 fsb, do i have to buy
pc2700 memory? 'Cause pc3200 memory costs the same? But i've heard
that the performance only decreases when you run pc3200 on a 333
fsb....is that correct? What do you advice ?


Thanks again..
David

Generally no, it'll show a < 4% gain, on average.

PC(nnnn) is only the rating of max speed, you can buy PC3200
memory even if you only wanted to run it at PC2700 speed,
and be as well off as buying PC2700 memory but have a higher
margin for stability and support for 3200 speed should you
ever want/need that in the future.

Only in Sandra, Aida or any other synthetic benchmark.

Think for future. Go for PC3200.
