Difference between Ddr 1600 and 2100

Vogster · Mar 9, 2001

What is the speed difference between ddr 1600 and 2100. And will boards accept both 1600 and 2100. Thanks for the help.

I know the boards will take both, but don't know off the top of my head how much faster the 2100 is.

I believe 1600 is 200mhz and 2100 is 266mhz.

pc1600 is 100mhz ddr (=200) and pc2100 is 133mhz ddr (=266). So it's about 33% faster.

Get PC2100 because the AMD chipset doesn't allow asynchronous ram and cpu bus speeds. This way you'll be able to run a 133mhz bus Athlon.

If I was you I'd definately invest in some 2100...you'll be happier down the road.

Thank You all very much. Although I don't know that I can afford 2100 right now.
