looking to buy new ram for new computer

[lemongrass]

hi all,
i don't know much about ram so i need ur help. i am building a new computer and i need ram. the mobo i'm going to get is the DFI "LANPARTY UT nF4 Ultra-D", graphic card is the PowerColor ATI Radeon X800 XL, AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 939, and Thermaltake VA3000 Dream Tower Black VA3000BWA ATX Case.

as for the ram i'm looking to get the Patriot Memory Dual Channel Kit 184-Pin 1GB (512MBx2) DDR PC-2700, or the PDP SYSTEMS Memory Dual Channel Kit 184-Pin 1GB (512MBx2) DDR PC-3200.

what is the differance between the 3200 and the 2700? i am not going to overclock my computer or anything, becasue i have no idea how to. i am going to use the computer to play game: cs-s, wow, wc3, need for speed underground 2, and so on.

so if u can, please tell me which one is going to help the performance of the computer.
thanks😉

PC2700 would be for a bus of 166Mhz. PC3200 is for 200Mhz. You want PC3200 athough some PC2700 can run at PC3200 speeds.

would the pc3200 help in performance more then the pc2700 then? and if so, how much.

Just get the 3200. It is actually cheaper than the 2700.

kk, pc3200 it is.
can't wait to order my stuff on monday.
here is another question i have, if i order my stuff on newegg.com and pick the standard overnight shipping, will it get to me by tomarrow? or do they not ship on weekends?

 

[Ike0069]

It would not come 'til at least Monday. Remember there is no guarentee that it will ship the same day as you order.
