DDR2100 or DDR2700 help please??

Hi,

I have a SIS 746FX chipset with Athlon 3000xp and with 1GB DDR333 RAM in 2 banks, using XP Home and 6800GT AGP card.

I happened to find a spare DDR333 512MB module, but the SIS 746fx cannot take DDR333 in the 3 banks it has. You can only use 3 banks in DDR 2100, or 2banks in ddr333.

Should I use the 3 banks for 1.5GB in DDR 2100, or keep it at 1GB DDR 333?

What do you think?
Wil I get a performace boost with the extra RAM, although working at a slower speed. CL is 3 on all modules

thanks guys

More is generally better then faster ram....But it also depends on what and how many apps you run on your pc.

Are you currently maxing out the 1 gig? If not, adding more might not make much difference.
