Simon,
That may be true if you want to run at standard clock speeds, but if you
want to get the best "bang for your buck" and run say an XP 1500+
at
166MHz FSB or higher then the Corsair RAM is certainly worth the extra.
Don't forget increasing memory bandwidth means that a machine running at
1.67 GHz with memory set to 166MHz is faster than one running at the
same speed with memory set to 133.
The chips come out of the same plant, but are selected based on testing,
much in the same way that CPUs with different speeds are "locked"
once
they have been tested even though they are made in exactly the same way.
Tim.

Dont bother wasting your money on 2700 Corsair RAM it
isnt much faster than 2100 Crucial and the Crucial is
a lot cheaper.

Overclockers.co.uk<BR>
<BR>
Abit KRA7 (with or without raid - I use scsi so I
didn't bother with it)<BR>
Athlon XP 1500+<BR>
2x 256Mb (but to be honest 1x256 will be fine unless
your editing big<BR>
DVI movies) Corsair 2700 DDR Ram<BR>
Alpha cooler (the first one on the page - the YS fan
will be fine) don't<BR>
forget the thermal compound!<BR>
Go for any of the Geforce based cards - driver support
is second to none<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Run the whole thing with a bus speed of 166MHz and it
will fly faster<BR>
than anything available off the shelf.<BR>

By the time you get to put it together I'll have
already done mine so<BR>

I want to build my own PC, mainly because I've got a
few bits lying<BR>
around that<BR>
can be reused (DVD, CD, NIC etc) that won't compromise
the speed of my<BR>
new PC.<BR>
I'm not as technical as most of you, so is there a
good site that help<BR>
me choose<BR>
which motherboard, processor & PSU?? I've
already got about 120GB of HD<BR>
to go<BR>
in there (2 x 60), and 512mb of PC133 RAM, but
presumably if I want<BR>
quick then I<BR>
should go for DDR RAM instead? My rough spec
is:<BR>
<BR>
Coolermaster case<BR>
Athlon XP (or something equally as quick)<BR>
SB Platinum<BR>
graphics card (don't play games, so not too bothered
about this, but<BR>
would need<BR>
one with a DVI output)<BR>
512MB RAM<BR>
DVD & CD-R plus all the usual other bits<BR>
<BR>
Basically I'd want something quick by current
standards, and easily<BR>
upgradeable.<BR>
I nearly went shopping at Scan Today last night, but
reminded myself of<BR>
my last<BR>
experience with them and managed to resist.
Might still try to get the<BR>
CM case<BR>
>from
<BR>
Any recommendations? (or should I just buy a pre-built
one?<BR>
www.bestpricecomputers.co.uk have some good
systems)<BR>
<BR>
Ta, Pete<BR>
