Simple questions about ddr...
1) If I plan to use an XP 2100+, which I think is at 266 Mhz, should I use PC2100 or PC2700? According to what everyone is telling me, it is ideal to sync the memory with the cpu. However, at the same time, I would like to use this memory effective when I do upgrade to a 333 Mhz cpu and would not like the system to slack because I bought slower memory.
2) If I did go with pc2700 on a 266Mhz cpu, do you think the diminished performance is minimal, tolerable, or terrible?
3) Lastly, all these questions come from my future rig based of a nForce chipset with dual memory channels. If I only put one stick of ram in the machine, will I see a reduced performance when compared with putting only one stick in a single channel memory bus mobo?
Sorry if I sound a little fuzzy. I historically use Intel chips and non-ddr memory (RDRAM, SDRAM). This is all new ground for me. Thanks.
