I have 2 256 2700 --333mhz-- chips in it right now, and it will take up to 2 1gb chips. My question is, can I get higher mhz ram like the 400 and if so would it even make a difference? I can buy 1gb 2700 mhz ram for my system at a local shop for $320, then I would just run the 1gb and 1 of the 256s until I could affor another 1gb chip. What determines the ram mhz limitations?
Your motherboard determines what the max RAM speed is your computer an handle. If you upgraded the RAM to a 1gb stick you might see a difference in load times and what not but not a really big difference. The only parts that really make the most notable differences are the CPU and Video Card.
