    learning about upgrades

    hi guys i,m relativley new to p,cs but trying to learn so if the question sounds a little daft you,ll have to bear with me. If i was going to up grade my mb to an a7n8x deluxe would it benefit me to upgrade the ram from pc2700 to pc3200 and how would this benefit( little more info i,m currently running a xp 1700 which is oclocked to around 1771 mhz with 143 fsb)

    It depends - memory & fsb in sync is best. The mobo should be able to run at 200fsb in which case buy the 3200 cos you can run the 2 at the same speed, just change the 1700 to run at 200 by whichever multi it's happy with. You could still run the 2700 in sync with the cpu at 166 and wait till memory prices come down a bit before upgrading without too much loss in performance.
