POLL: Which would you rather have?

[Corporate Thug]

?

#1

Get a motherboard with a 5:4 or 4:3 memory/fsb ratio. You can overclock the 2.8 by leaving your memory @ 200MHz and setting your FSB to something higher.

 

[Lonyo]

Crap, another vote for #1, went #2 because I didn't see 512MB vs 1GB RAM.

#1 all the way.

 

[Abhi]

#1

 

[MichaelZ]

definatly #1

 

[Cerb]

2.8C@3.3 w/ 1GB PC3200 2-3-3-7. Better than #1 or #2 🙂

 

[JBT]

#1 Ratio's my man.

 

[CraigRT]

Unless you are doing very memory intensive work--I would go with #2 as the system being 500 MHz faster is better in my book.

 

[jm0ris0n]

#1. More ram is better than 500mhz in my book 😛

Is the reason for this poll because one of your PC3200 sticks can't do PC4000?

If not, I dont' see why you don't do Cerb's option.

Can you set the FSB/RAM ratio in the BIOS? 235Mhz...that'd be ral close to 6:5.
