I crunch for SETI, and was wondering how much of a performance boost I'd see with some DDR RAM. Right now I've got 256MB of SDRAM PC133 RAM in my ECS Elite Group K7S5A mo-bo.
 
If SETI is anything like F@H, it probably relies more on CPU power than bus/memory bandwidth. You probably wouldn't see much if any difference. Since DDR is about the same price as SDR I'd go with that in a new system. If you are already running SDR in a dual mem type board stick with it for that use.

Well, it wouldn't just be for S@H... it'd be to generally improve the performance of the machine.
