specs = A64 3200+ Radeon 9800XT 768MB PC2100 Win XP Corp Asus K8V Deluxe Will I notice a difference in games / general windows usage if I upgrade to 1gb of pc3200 ?
Really depends on the make of the Ram. If you get say EBuyer "Extra Value" ram then you won't say a great difference, but a bit, but if you go for a high-end Corsair or Kingston then yes.
Sure about that mate? Same frequency = same speed, surely? Feel free to shout at me if i'm wrong Yes you'll see an increase, much much much more bandwidth to use!
and I'm guessing more bandwidth = faster responce times for games .. so I'll head over to dabs.com and place an order =]
is this any good http://www.dabs.com/uk/channels/components/memoryandaccessories/productView.htm?quicklinx=2NDF or are you getting what you pay for :/
The game will probably load much faster with dual channel pc3200 @ cas 2 latency, than the same amount of ram at pc2100 speed @ cas 2.5 or 3 latency... I think that is what Xtrm meant... You can buy some cheap pc3200 or some better pc3200, they will be a noticable difference in speeds. See... You can get this: Click Cheap pc3200 ram... with crappy timings Or this: CLICK Expensive pc3200 ram, with great timings.
When did DDR266 ever be the same as DDR400? Cmon man, get real! Please don't confuse matters by talking codswallop, if you're unsure, read around before posting (google is great for this sort of thing)
