RAM type?

[laidbackrosco]

Hi all.

I have a pentium 4 with 2x512 DDR2 SDRAM installed (memory speed: DDR2-533 ;266Mhz) and 2 free slots.
If I were to upgrade, would you recommend:
1 - buying another 2 sticks of the exact spec to take the total ram to 2gig  
or
2 - replacing the existing sticks with the same amount of RAM, but with a higher memory speed (i.e. 800Mhz)

p.s. would the benifits of doing this be noticible, for example, in gaming performance?

Thanx in advance

compare it,
i.e  1GB RAM 667MHZ  and 2GB RAM 266MHZ

i prefer 2GB RAM,

pay almost same price get more RAM.

That depends on what your motherboard will accept. If you get the wrong type it won't work. If it were me, I'd match up with the existing ram. You know that's gonna work.

I was thinking along those lines myself, but a second and third opinion doesnt hurt.
