DDR Memory question...

[jlmsystek]

I am building a system and would like a recommendation. I am putting together a Soyo dragon 2 with all the works. P4 w/800mhz fsb. I am curious, would it be better to use PC3700 ddr memory to make sure it runs smooth or buy PC3200 (ddr400)??? Any advice appreciated....

All things being equal and presuming that you are referring to the SY-P4I865PE DRAGON 2,

PC3200 should be sufficient.

No, I am building a system with the new Dragon 2, it has an Intel 875 chipset.....

it is Dual Channel, and can take an 800Mhz FSB cpu.....

I am curious about the idea of getting memory that is rated for a faster speed and so 1. ensure that it will run without problems at the system speed I am building(400Mhz), and 2. In the case of an upgrade or overclock, it will still function(433Mhz, etc)....

Does that sound right???
