Memory Question

[LasombraB]

Currently I have a AMD Athlon XP 2500+ 333fsb CPU, and an Intel Pentium 4 2.4GHz 533fsb CPU. My question is what speed of memory I should get for each? Do I need to match the fsb of the CPU to the Memory? Like get PC2700 of the AMD.

You'll want to set the RAM to run synchronously with the FSB on the Barton especially if you have an NF2. Your P4 2.4 I have no idea about.

Get PC3200 for both though, it's usually the same price and will carry over to another rig much better, as well as allowing for a bit more overclocking headroom.
