    Which ram?

    I'm able to swap my 2 sticks of 256meg Twinmoss pc3200 with windbond ch-5 chips for 2 sticks of 256meg adata pc4000.

    Not sure if its worth it or not? More future proof? I won't be needing ~202mhz+ fsb at the mo due to my 3.06ghz. With a 4:5 ratio my cpu is running @ 3.7ghz / 202mhz (5-2-2-2) which is pretty much the limit of this chip on air.

    Cheers in advance, Ethos

    As you're probably aware it simply isn't worth it. If you had an 800FSB mobo/CPU and wanted to o/c then the Adata PC4000 would definitely be worth it but for the rest of us PC3200 is all you need and TwinMOS with WinBond should o/c a little and/or run with very fast timings bringing in perf above the Adata which although can run faster (mhz) don't like fast timings. In terms of future-proofing faster than PC3200 isn't really worth it, firstly because even with an 800FSB CPU+mobo PC3200 isn't very limiting and by the time we need more than PC3200 can offer we'll surely be using DDr-II anyway. I'd say hold on to your TwinMOS+WB because it's simply top stuff. If you planned on o/c'ing an 800FSB P4C then the Adata would be better.
