Hi everybody,
I'm a newb when it comes to overclocking, and I've begun to do some research, however, I haven't been able to find an answer to this one...
CAS and RAS timings for memory modules is important. Fine. I understand that much.
Scenario: I will be purchasing an MSI KT3-Ultra2 mobo (266Mhz) and an AMD AthlonXP 2100+ to match. I intend on purchasing no name PC2700 DDR333 RAM.
Is purchasing no name DDR333 just as good for overclocking as good name brand DDR266 for overclocking? (I'm assuming the RAS/CAS timings are crappy for BOTH, but I'm asking whether the extra 'bandwidth' of DDR333 would some how make up for that, if I were to overclock)
Is there *any* reason why I would want to purchase DDR333 if I were not going to overclock? (My CPU only needs DDR266 anyhow, why spend $15 more??)
