Hey Guys...
I am using a Giga-byte GA-8SQ800 (Sis 655 chipset) mobo that support DDR400 in Dual Channel. Right now, I have 4 sticks of 256MB Crucial DDR333 (PC2700). In Giga-Byte's documentation, they RECOMMEND(???) the following DDR400 to be used with this mobo:
Micron (MT16VDDT3264AG-403B2)
Corsair XMS (CMX256A-3200 XMS3202v1.1 024458)
Kingmax (MPXB62D-68KX3)
Kingston Value (KVR400X64C25/512)
Now, I know that Crucial is made by Micron, but wanted to pose the following questions to yall for input:
1 - Would an upgrade from PC2700 dual channel to PC3200 dual channel be a visible gain in performance? (i.e - is it worth it?)
2 - If so, would I lean to follow the mobo's manufacturer's "recommendation"?
3 - If I follow the manufacturer's recommendation on the above types, which memory would you recommend? I do not overclock, so what I am looknig for is best performance.
The one final caveat is that upgrading the mobo is not an option at this point.
Thanks!
