DDR400 for Canterwood

What kind od DDR400 memory do I need for Canterwood MB? I am confused by 2100, 2700, 3200, 3500 even 3700.

Thanks

DDR400 = PC3200. You need to purchase PC3200 or above.

 

What is a meaning of these numbers?

Aha, so higher is better?

That's usually the way things work in the computer industry.

 

Cannot be said better then this.
Thanks!

Except for disk access times!

 

Will I have any advantage of the highest (3700) memory?

Basically speaking after 3200 you stop seeing benefits on the canterwood platform (i'd imagine) and Idon't htink it's really capable of running the higher speeds, regardless.

What I would say is just pick up some high quality low latency PC3200, and be happy.

If you wanna go with the best, this is pretty much the best choice, unfortunatley it's very costly.

Actually it can run higher speeds, but yeah, thats with some good OCing. oh well..

Andy is forgetting about the 4800SE

I was actually reffering to stock speeds/memory dividers. Ofourse, you can overclock it. But that's not the point..?

Do not get Corsair if you are getting a Canterwood mobo. There have been issues with using the two together. Kingston HyperX PC3500 is less and performs better too.
