If I get this CPU and this Mobo, what speed ram should I get?

[purbeast0]

I have been out of the hardware scene for a while, so before I go buy some stuff I would like to ask you guys if you could give me some quick advice. I want to get the AMD XP 2400+ and the Asus a7n8x motherboard. What speed ram (ie. PC2100) should I get for this combo? Thanks for the help guys!

PC2700

PC3200 if you want to run the memory at 400mhz. A lot of PC2700 won't run that high. Unless it's Crucial, Samsung or similar.

whatever you think you have a good chance of oc'ing the processor fsb to. even 2700 is 166 mhz.

PC2700 or something faster so that it could possibly be used in further upgrades.

PC2700 at least, if you plan to OC, look into getting PC3200, or good quality 2700. PC2700 = 333mhz ddr, and PC3200 = 400mhz ddr.
