Is there any benefit to getting 1066 memory? I'm used to matching memory to the fsb DDR 2700 for 333 fsb,2100 for 266 etc. I've been out of it for a while so I'm completely lost.

I'm selling an Xp 2400+ to a relative. I've been giving serious thought to trying a P4 on a Aopen, Asus, or MSI 845PE board. Is anyone running a P4 along with an Xp? I'm using a KT4 Ultra with my Xp. I'm curious what if any performance difference the faster fsb of the Intel will be. I don't...
