which setup is better

[OneManArmy]

768mb ram /w 333fsb

------------or------------

1gig of ram /w 266fsb

Waht are the rest of your system specs? Realy get 1gig of 400 the 400 is backward compatable with the others, and it only cost about 10$ more

I'd say the gig, but that is just me. :D

Its generally best to run your memory clock speed the same as your cpu fsb, if your amd. So if you have a XP its 133 = 266 DDR. If its Barton its 166 = 333 DDR. If you OC your cpu fsb though its even better then its 200 = 400 DDR which is where I like to sit. Most good DDR can clock up a decent bit, so even if you went and bought 1 gig of PC2100 if its good quality you can prolly crank it up to PC2700 speeds. You would prolly have to lower the memory timings and give it a little more juice.

So if your just using an xp, and not oc'ing you can't see much of any memory difference between pc2100 and pc2700 if your running sync.

my CPU is a 333fsb.. thats why I was wondering if it will be better even though im removing 256mb of ram..


and thank you for finally answering the question and not spouting off some nonsense about buying crap
