Let me clarify. I currently have the two 256meg PC3200 sticks, and am
ordering two 512meg PC3200 sticks. The mobo has three sockets. According
to the mobo manual, if I only populate two sockets, I can run the board at
DDR400, but if all three are populated, I must use DDR333. The Bios has
the option to set memclock to CPU clock ratio to either 'auto' or to
DDRxxx.

Now, the question is, which will work better - 1 GIG at DDR400, or 1.25
GIG at DDR300.
