memory upgrade

[X14]

Which option would be the wiser one for the ASUS P4P800 DLX? I'm currently using 1 stick of PC 2700 512MB.

Option 1 - buy an additional stick of identical PC 2700 for a total of 1GB.

Option 2 - buy 2 sticks of PC 3200, 2 x 256MB for a total of 512MB.

Since the FSB on your P4 is still above widely available RAM speeds today, just going from 2700 to 3200 isn't going to make a huge difference, I wouldn't think. I'd go for the 1GB route, personally. I don't run DDR personally (yet), so if I'm wrong, someone please say so.
