There is a quite short review and comparison of the above RAM sticks here.   Summary, the Buffalo RAM represents some of the cheapest RAM available.  But the OCZ outstrips the performance of the faster RAM and exceeds the overeclocking capabilities of the motherboard used - makes me kinda glad I chose it for my own system :D

OK. I feel I need to get my head round some of these numbers that are bandied around on this forum. First off, this is what I've got in my box of tricks:

512 MB x 1
Upgrade Type Industry standard
Memory
Type DRAM
Technology DDR SDRAM
Form Factor DIMM 184-PIN
Access Time 7.5 ns
Bus Clock Rate 133 MHz ( DDR266/PC2100 )
Supply Voltage 2.5 V
Module Configuration 64 x 64
Data Integrity Check Non-parity
CAS Latency CL2.5
Features Unbuffered
Expansion / Connectivity
Compatible Slots 1 x memory - DIMM 184-PIN

I notice that my numbers are not as big as your numbers TL. Would I benefit by upping the ante to PC3700 and can I do that willy nilly? How if I just whopped another stick of the same stuff in, making it 1ghz of RAM?

I haven't bought anything for a few weeks now, so I'm up for it one way or another!
Oh yeah, Keep it simple!  :D

Doorman - it is quicker to discuss it.  Give me a call and we'll talk it through - my number is in the member's section under 'Contact Details', about the third thread down if I recall.....
