Hey, I'm definitely upgrading RAM in the very near future, and I need a little help. I'm willing to spend about 90$. I've got some questions however.
Say I have PC3200 RAM now, and I buy PC3500. I'm under the impression that the higher speed RAM will underclock itself to match the lower speed? If this is true, is this underclocking permanent, or would I be able to buy more PC3500 RAM later, and switch that with my current 512 PC3200?
Not only this, but I'm looking at Gigaram on newegg. Any reviews with Gigaram? Also, what would you recommend, PC3500 or PC3200?
