pc2100 or pc2400?

[marktiberius]

Hello,

I'm building a new system around the Athlon XP. Should I go for Corsair PC2400 CAS2 or Corsair PC2100 CAS2 or Crucial PC2100? What is the difference between PC2400 and PC2100? Will the 2400 have more headroom if I decide to overclock?

Thanks,

Mark

with prices so low you might as well go with pc2400 or even pc2700 and yes they give extra head room incase you decide to do some oc'ing.

Yes wait for PC2700 , i think there's even some around now.

the main difference is that pc2100 is 133mhz ddr = 266mhz effective, pc2400 is 150 x2 = 300mhz and pc2700 is 166 x2 = 333mhz

therefore the latter owns.

So PC2700 would be DDR333?

I think that would be correct sir
