I need 512 MB of DDR PC2100 RAM. Thinkin crucial, but they're expensive. Are they really worth it?

crucial is very good ram, however if you go for another brand make sure to get CAS 2 instead 2.5, it will make a significant bandwith difference. And even though crucial says 2.5, it will easily do 2.
How expensive is crucial these days, I got my 256mb pc2100 for $36 last fall.

i paid 38 for mine but ram proces have gone up a ton when it comes to DDR. I don't know why but it just has. Now it is like 65-80. Go to procewatch and get the best price u can. I don't think u really need crucial that badly but i could be wrong.

2100 vs 2700 HELP!
Ok everyone please inform me, Ii am running a 1.6 northwood (not Oc'd yet) with 512 2100 single, will I see a big difference between 2100 and 2700 or not?? I was told yes and no by many different people, and most the reads i saw said yes, but it seems to me that if im going to OC the fsb it wont matter, Am I crazy or what??

Well, it depends on the motherboard. If the chipset has "266" in part of its name, 2700 will do nothing but improve your odds of overclocking. If the chipset of your motherboard has "333" in its designation, then 2700 is better. You can always try to run your PC2100 at 2700 by changing the settings in the bios, but there is no guarantee.

How many motherboards have 333 out yet? I can't imagine many. DDR333 is relatively new.
