197982 2003-12-06 23:17:00 Is there a significant performance difference between 266Mhz and 400Mhz RAM?

If there is, which would be your preferred - 1024Mb 266Mhz or 512Mb 400Mhz?

197983 2003-12-07 00:08:00 can your motherboard run the ram 400mhz?? if so use the 400. tweak'e (174)
197984 2003-12-07 01:19:00 I'm looking at buying a computer for myself, as currently I use my 'family' one, which is only a couple of months old, but I'd like to have my own.
So I was seeing if it would be better to go for the setup with higher rate ram and less of it, or lower rate ram with more of it. But I guess it's better to go for the better quality setup and then in the future it has the ability for upgrade. Now all I need to do is save the money, which is hard to do when your a sixteen year old without a job! Anyone in Tauranga want to employ me??? :)

197985 2003-12-07 01:44:00 well I'd just about guarantee that my system which has 512mb pc3200 DDR ram (400mHZ) runnign as dual channel will be a LOT faster than a 266Mhz setup running NON dual ram........... drcspy (146)
197986 2003-12-07 02:31:00 512meg is ample size for most things. you could even get away with 256meg for medium tasks, so go with the faster ram. tweak'e (174)
