I bought a stick of Kingston 128mb PC150 Cas2 ram. I couldn't figure out when the company I bought it from was going to ship it, so I tried canceling my order. Thinking the order was canceled, I bought a stick of Syncmax 256mb PC133 for the Via KT133 chipset. Well, come to find out that the order for the PC150 memory had already been shipped, and my order for the PC133 memory had already gone through, so I have received both.

Which one will benefit me more? I will have a Duron 600 OC'd to 900mhz, an MSI K7T Pro2-A mobo, and a Radeon 64mb... along with my 2 15gb IBM HDD's. Which one will actually run faster for me? I have heard that a good stick of 128mb PC150 Cas2 ram will actually run data faster than 256mb PC133 Cas3 ram, assuming I cannot run the 256mb at Cas2.

Any help please???

I have concluded after messing around with FSB's for a while that most PC-133 RAM is basically easily and relatively stable at 150. If the ram is good enough it can hack it with no problems. My Micron PC133 Ram can easily hack 150 with no problems. Now I wouldnt know about any cheap generic brands, cuz that would be a different story.
