Yes. PC2400 just means that it's guaranteed to run at 150MHz FSB.

Yep, almost any DDR memmory speed above the 1600 or 2100 will work in that mainboard, just like Thelemac just said, those speeds are just guarenties that it will run faster than the normal 2100 speed. just like you can use a piece of PC133 memmory that will only use it at a 100FSB

get 256 mb cas 2 ddr pc2100; any more than that, might be a waste.

I like Corsair, another good brand is Crucial.

edit: oops I meant pc2400- I agree with the doctor

I would get the Corsair PC2400. You won't regret it.

I've gotten mine to 172 FSB @ CAS2..........

Ok. So you all think that the PC2700 stuff isnt worth it then.

It's too hare to judge, since I haven't heard from anyone that uses them.

I know how the Corsair works

I asked the EPoX_Tech at AOA forums about EPoX boards and DDR.

PC2400 is an unofficial standard.

PC1600, PC2100 are official memory standards, and PC2700 (333MHz) is soon to be ratified as well.

I would reccomend Crucial or Kingmax PC2100 for the simple reason of price and performance, I run my kingmax @ 160 mhz cas 2 with no problems at all
