Now, I have 1x128mb/133/cas2 memory module.
1x128mb/133/cas3 memory module nad
1x128mb/125/cas3 memory module.
I can get the system running with the two first memory modules at 141/cas2 without any problem. I cannot get it running at 133/cas2 with the three sticks installed. (Those values are what sisoft sandra reports).
The memory benchmark with 100/cas2 (all three modules installed) is 395/380.
The question is, which one should I go for, 256mb/133/cas2 or 384/100/cas2. I didn't have any memory problems when running 256 (virtually never used swap file (conservativeswapfileusage=1)). But, it's nice to have more memory.
Is the performance gain so drastic when moving from 100 to 133 that I should throw away the extra stick or is it big just in paper. Yeah, I could test the performance with 2sticks and compare it to the 3stick test result, think it was ~400/350. But, as those all look nice in paper does it matter that much in real life.
Apologies if this has been asked, didn't find anything with search thou.
