hobsgrg Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 As your getting a KT333 motherboard why don't u get pc2700 memory as that will be faster than pc2100 ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sentinal Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 When you get the pc2100 ram, make sure it's Cas 2 and not Cas 2.5 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pothitos Posted July 20, 2002 Author Share Posted July 20, 2002 i've heard the via kt333 chipset is verygood so it may be worth going for a mobo with that chipset. just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticktron Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 Make sure you get a motherboard with built-in RAID, and instead of buying one 60gb hard drive, buy two 30gb hard drivers, hook them up in RAID-0 (striping) and you will have twice the speed. Believe me, doubling the performance of your hard drives is a must. Why bother with a fast cpu, fast memory, only to be only to be crippled by a slow hard drive?

hobsgrg Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 Originally posted by Pothitos cuz when i get some more money i will get a stick of 2700 but if u run it with ur PC2100 then u wont get any speed advantage, u'd have to dump ur PC2100 ram chip if u want the performance of the PC2700.
