Re: DDR

First, the rude:

"And you have to ask? You can only use 2100 and 2400 obviously.

Alias "

Yes, he did have to ask. The documentation could have been produced before
PC2700 ram even existed.

And now the shortsighted:

"you will gain nothing by using the more expensive RAM as your
M/B is not designed to utilize the extra speed of this newer RAM.

"There is no reason to buy any RAM faster than
PC2400 for your motherboard.
Bobby"

I believe I detailed EXACTLY why these were shortsighted statements. If you
have any questions, reread my original post a few times then ask something
specific instead of a generic "why".

As for technical accuracy, again, I detailed the pros and cons of deviation
from using the expected RAM speed and reported my personal experiences.

There is a difference between a correct answer and the right answer. I try
to give the right answers.
