    Question 'Overclockability' of 512MB and 256MB Memory modules

    Just wondering how well 512MB memory modules compare to the 256MB ones that we see in most tests. I would really like to know this as I plan to have only 1 memory module in my new system to get the FSB up to 200FSB (400DDR)... but I would like to have 512MB rather than just 256MB

    I intend to use Samsung PC2700 on an Epox 8K3A+ btw
    Out with the old, in with the new (by 05/03 :

    * nVidia nForce2
    * AMD Athlon XP 2800+
    * 2x256MB PC2100 Crucial @ PC2700 <DONE>
    * Coolermaster ATC-201 <DONE>
    * ATi Radeon 9700 Pro / nVidia next gen
    * Logitech® Z-680
    * Microsoft Optical Desktop Pro
    * Hansol 17" LCD H711 Silver

    Thats the basics

    Same thing. Doesn't make a difference if it's a 256MB stick or 512MB stick.

    Go with the 512 stick. Its not the amount of RAM that causes a problem with overclocks, its the # of sticks. As in 1 stick of 512MB RAM is easier to overclock than 2 sticks of 256.
