Greetings all, I'm about to upgrade a box (on a budget), and I was wondering whether the extra cost (or smaller amount) of PC2700 DDR memory would be offset by big (say >20%) differences in time for a buildworld, for example? For little more than the price of 256 Mb of PC2700, I can get 512 Mb of PC2100 from Crucial. I realize SCSI vs IDE may make more of a difference, but unfortunately that's not an option. The processor would be a socket 478 P4 1.7 GHz, and I'm considering the ASUS P4S533 motherboard (SiS645DX chip set). The disks to be migrated are: ad0: 9541MB <WDC WD100EB-00BHF0> [19386/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA100 ad1: 76319MB <WDC WD800BB-32BSA0> [155061/16/63] at ata0-slave UDMA100 Comments on motherboards also welcome; I've got PCI NIC & video cards I can use, but like the fact that the C-Media chip set on the ASUS seems to be supported for sound. If this would be better on -questions or -hardware, I could repost there. Thanks. Alex __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
