PC<num> is supposed to be a representation of the theoretical bandwidth of the ram - PC2700 = DDR333. Theoretically it can transfer 2700Mb a second. Equally, PC2100 = DDR266.
You're quite right about running ram synchronously - I actually get more speed out of my DDR333 ram when I run it at 266, because I have a 266Mhz fsb (AXP2000). Must be something to do with latency or something.
Anyway - running it at 266Mhz allows me to manually force the lowest possible latency settings without affecting stability - I tried that at 333Mhz and the thing fell over backwards every 10 seconds.
Incidentally JJ - where the fk do you get your money? If you
have found a way to make it grow on trees, I'd appreciate the instructions ta.
