>DDR400 (PC3200) bandwidth up to 3.2GB/s
>(Note: PC3200 Max. to 2 banks only; PC2700 Max. to 4 banks only)

>At Mwave:
>BA19336 KINGSTON KHX2700/512 512MB PC2700 333MHZ CL2 DDR DIMM $89.00
>BA08577 KINGSTON KVR333X64C25/512 512MB PC2700 333MHZ CL2.5 DDR DIMM $87.00
>The Mwave tech said either would work, but I'm not sure that is correct.
>
>At ZipZoom:
>80065-K Kingston KVR333X64C25/512 512MB DDR333 PC2700 $78.00
>80037-22 Kingston KVR333X64C25K2/512 512MB Kit DDR333 PC2700 $92.00
>
>The last item says "Kit" and that apparently means it is a "dual-channel"
>setup, which I was told would not work. So, is the $78.00 chip a correct
>choice?
