Hi Alec,
How's it going buddy? Are you re-employed these days? I am presuming so since you're upgrading, but you probably can afford to do that anyways. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're focussing on minutia. You can't upgrade your RAM without upgrading your CPU, and your IDE interface, and possibly other busses like USB, AGP, and the like. So documenting individual performance increases from any of those factors would be somewhat silly. Why not just take a look a performance comparison of a P3 class system vs. that of 2-3GHZ P4 system. This will give you a more general and overall comparison of your system vs. what today has to offer. Here's a Tom's hardware comparison from everything from a P100 to a P4 3GHZ system. That should be a good way to tell what you stand to gain. There are D3D, audio/video, and application benchmarks. Check it:

Hope that helps amigo,
Christian

Christianb, hey you have a great holiday weekend too and that goes for all my fellow American's out there as well
 
Hope it aint too hot down in Sacto ATM. Been actually pleasent here in PDX for a change

Hey Jimmijo,
I thought PDX was an airport code and sure enough I was right . It was also my guess that it was portland although I don't know Where in the F they came up with "X". Perhaps you do? I'll be in Portland in August for the Internation Festival of Living Foods http://www.rawfoods.com/festival/oldindex.html. I a raw foodist and there's no place on earth where one can find such a high percentage of hotties out of otherwise perfectly normal people. You should come and check it out. Just come for one day if you don't like the women you can always leave .
Cheers,
Christian

I may just take you up on that invite. I'll check out the site as well, thanks
 
I wish I knew where the X cam from as well but you know other airports have some strange or interesting call letters as well, you know that one in So Cal, LAX
 
Hmm, the link appears to be broken

Hi Jimmijo,
Huatulco, Mexico is HUX, but that makes sense since it's Huatulco, Mexico. Mexico city is Mex too, but I've never heard of Portland, Mexico before . It'd probably be called Portlandio any how .
Adios Amigo,
Christian

Actually chritian - getting various ram types and perfromace is not really silly - if u use say a P4 platform, and then comapre the various types of ram
 
getting the ratio is just right.
 
For his P3 system he is upgrading everything, cpu whole nine yards, a brand new rig, as far as i know. - so comparing a pIII 1ghz to a p4 - the results are rather obvious.
 
1:1 is the ultimate goal, so to find the perfect DDR for your P4 for example it would be good to have a comparision of say a
 
P2 2.4 with each type of ddr as which one ultimately gives the best performance with stock speeds and even overclocking.
 
DDR3700 is not for everyone, but many like it - my mobo handles a max of pc2700 but i have pc3200 in it for overclocking - give me that extra headroom on the moemory since i am upto or can hit 180mhz FSB on my Abit Bh7 on a 2.4b chip. so there are various factors which can help decide as to what DDR (if DDR is the choice) of which to choose that would best suit ones needs on a specific platform.

here is the link for that toms review

Hi Mr. Guverment,
Thanks for correcting my link. I think there was a period at the end that was screwing things up.

possibly, happen alot, esepcially when i use goolge to find things, it tends to lead to a dead page.
