I have the following motherboard: ASUS A7V266-MX, Chipset type: VIA ProSavageDDR KM266, Max speed bus: 266 MHz. I am using a PC3200 256MB 400MHz RAM memory, but my moth. board says to support max 266 MHz (PC2100, PC1600)...

Now the question is the following:

I want to add a 1GB-Ram memory, but I don't know which to choose between PC3200 and PC2100, cause my computer is using a 3200 (...), but my mother board can't support PC3200 (400 MHz)...Which is the difference between using the 3200 rather than the 2100?

I am not a master, so please correct me if I said something wrong

Thank you all, Happy New Year !

Thanks, I ran it and it says me to use the 3200 one, and I think that's what I'm going to do...

It's backwards compatible so it will just run at the max rated speed of your motherboard.
