I have:

512 pc3200

512 pc2100

256 pc2700

My system is as follows:

P4 2.0ghz (dell so not overclocked) (533fsb)

Intel corp mobo (I 845 or something i think)

9700pro

SB LIVE! 5.1

1 dvd-rom

1 cd-rw

80gig harddrive

I mainly use this system for gaming so which ram combo would be best for me? Or would just one stick of pc3200 be the right choice? I am really confused on this one, so any input would be great!

Go with both 512MB sticks.
Even thought one is PC2100, that's 133MHz which matches your FSB, and since you're not overclocked, that'll be fine.
There is no question, go for the max you can, especially for gaming.

sell the pc2100 and pc2700 and get a stick that matches the pc3200 and use those two...incase you decide to upgrade to a non-dell in the future.

i have another computer that i am going to stick all my unused ram in, so that isn't really an option. I guess going for the gig is alright then.
