I ordered the EPOX 8RDA+ Motherboard from PCRapids (Tuffshop)last Monday, and I am still waiting for it.

I would have preferred NewEgg or Multiwave, but neither had the EPOX 8RDA+ Motherboard in stock.

Should I get the following?

AMD Athlon XP 2200+ or the Athlon XP 2700+ (333 FSB).

Kingston PC 2700 CAS 2.5 DDR RAM or
Corsair PC 3500 CAS 2 XMS Extreme Memory or
Kingston Hyper-X PC 3500 CAS 2 DDR RAM.

I know that the CAS 2 Memory is faster then the CAS 2.5, but the faster Athlon CPU Chip and the Faster Memory is almost twice as expensive.

I have always liked Kingston Memory, and I heard that there have been some Hardware Compatibility Problems with the Corsair high speed Memory and the ASUS A7N8X Motherboards.

I am willing to pay extra for the faster Athlon CPU Chip and I like the 333 MHZ FSB.
