Is this the best memory for the board?

Crucial PC2100 DDR

I just ordered 2x 256MB PC2100 CL2.5 Crucial sticks last night, free shipping (but you have to pay tax), one for my K7S5A and one for my GF's K7S5A

I've been using a Nanya 256mb DDR stick with this board at ultra2/6/3 timings with great results!

Why not keep both sticks for yourself?

72 bucks for 512 megs delivered is outta control!

i heard PC2100 has very little preformance increace over PC1600.

is this true?

 

[tornadobox]

from what I understand, the performance increase from PC1600 to PC2100 is the same as from PC100 to PC133.

PC2100 runs on a 33% faster bus

Seems most people who have purchased the DDR boards have been using the Crucial memory with good results. I use a 256MB DDR stick from Micron, as I have had excellent experience with their memory in the past, and it works great on this board, with no problems. I too am running 2/6/3 timings with good results.

It is funny how one of the highest performing Athlon boards is also one of the cheapest.

I use this memory and this motherboard, no problems whatsoever. Have 512 MB in mine.

As I recall, 2100 DDR cost essentially the same as 1600. All you need is 1600, but maybe future systems??
