I do have one possibly dumb question. The chipset is 875P which supports dual channel 400MHz DDR. So far so good. Intel claims the fastest configuration is 4 DIMMs of all double sided. This amounts to PC3200. I found a site which offers PC3500 (CL=2.5 vs CL=3). Here is the link: http://www.oempcworld.com/item.jhtml?UCIDs=66527%7C1218117&PRID=1314991 It also claims this is DDR 433MHz. Hence my confusion. To perform at PC3500, is the change in CAS latency enough or must I overclock to 433MHz. If overclocking is required (which the BIOS doesn't support) then the CL of 2.5 would perform at CL rate of 3. Is the above any faster than: http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.asp?Mfr%2BProductline=Dell%2BPowerEdg e&mfr=Dell&cat=RAM&model=PowerEdge+400SC&submit=Go I think the answer is yes, but I would appreciate the sanity check.
