Memory prices on pc2700 are cheaper than pc2100, at least where I have seen. I have an ecsk7s5a mobo which will take pc2100 or pc133 memory. Do you think pc2700 mem would work ok?

TIA
 
While the PC-2700 will work on the mobo. It will be running at PC-2100 speeds. So you won't see any extra benifits from it. If the 2700 is cheaper then go for it. :D
All memory is backward compatable. As long as it fits in the slot ;)
 
Thanks - I kinda figured it would work. Right now I have pc133 memory in it and I can only run my fsb at 100/100 which equates to my proc running at 1.5 instead of 1.8 (xp2000) Just want to run my fsb at 133 so my proc is running at rated speed.
