2100 vs. 2400 vs. 2700

I am planning to buy a new mobo the epox 8kha+ and this will be my first ddr mobo. anyways when looking i see these three different options. which one should i get?

Micron PC2100 is a proven favorite for overclocking, but if you want to try the other two options I think my choice would be Kingmax. :beer:

[Zazuk]

I would go with PC2700 cause it would not be overclocked and therefor would be more stable.

There is no question what the best would be. High quality PC2700 is the best choice.

My vote goes for KingMax PC-2700

With prices the way they are at the moment you might as well go the whole hog and get 2700.

2100 isnt the bargain it was a month aggo.

Different schools of thought......

1: Buy PC2100 (Crucial or Micron). Clocks well (mine is running at 333MHz DDR (PC2700)). PC2700 memory for PC2100 price.

2: It's all up in price, buy PC2700 anyway. But make sure it's proper PC2700, not just PC2100 or PC2400 guaranteed to run at PC2700........

If it's your first mobo, I'd reccomend going with PC2100, and then have a good play with clocking it.

See my specs
Crucial 2100 is excellent OCing RAM and can very well be "called"
PC2700 in my opinion.
