Hi all... I'm gonna upgrade my computer soon (in fact, I'll build a new one), and I'm having a little "worry" about my future RAM.
I plan on buying an Athlon 2800+ (which is 333mhz), install it on an Asus A7N8X Deluxe (which support up to 400mhz). Now, what kind of DDR ram would be the best, even though I know both can fit:
PC2700 (333mhz) or PC3200 (400mhz)?
Which one of the CPU/MB limits the RAM speed? I mean, if I buy a 400mhz memory set, will it be limited by the 333mhz of the cpu, or will it operate at its full speed? Not that there's much difference, but it would be nice to know.
Thanks guys (and girls!)
