Any suggestion about memory upgrade?

Hi to all ,
I've got a ABIT KV7 Motherboard with a Burton 3200+ running in it 🙂

Planning to "upgrade" my 1,5 Gb standard SDRAM 333 with two Kingston Modules KVR400X64C3A/512 .
I've read my MB supports only 3200's memory.
What do you thinks about?
Good results or poor changes? 😕

Any suggestion about other products will be fine for me?
A friends of mine sell's Kingstone so they will be cheaper for me.

Any "expert" counsil will be appreciated.

Bye, thanks :thumbsup:
 
I think you'll have decent results but don't expect anything mind blowing. I've heard that Bartons run faster if the memory is matched to the bus speed. I'm not sure if this is what you are asking or not but DDR400 and pc3200 are the same thing so you won't have any problems there. Also the 333 you have in there now is actually pc2700 DDR not standard SDR. So you're only increasing the memory frequency from 333 to 400mhz.

A couple years ago I upgraded my mobo and went from PC133 sdr to 333 ddr and It wasn't really much of a performance improvment. But that was on an athlon 1ghz with a 100mhz bus speed.

As I'm thinking about it I'm starting to wonder if the upgrade would be worth the $$$ you will pay for the new ram. Anyone else?
