Peter,

That sounds like a good combo. I have been considering this as well for my home machine. I hope Micron (Crucial) will release PC-2100 parts shortly. Their PC-1600 parts are a steal.

For some of the office machines that I will be upgrading (and I put it off for more than a month), I could use the version of the board with built in 3COM network chip. I have not seen this version of the chip for sale yet. Does K&M Elektronik in Germany have this part in stock by any chance?

Joe

Peter, Re: "K&M Elektronik now has APACER+SAMSUNG 256MB PC266 DDR DRAM (CL2) in stock. Before, there was only the 128 MB version available. Its price is almost exactly twice as much as the APACER/SAMSUNG 256MB PC133 CL2 SDRAM modules. That's a good start."

I would wait until Crucial offers PC2100. This may help reduce the premium considerably but 2:1 is pretty good considering the current pricing on PC133! A 2:1 premium is considerably lower than the average I have found on Pricewatch from 01-23 which had PC2100:PC133Brand at about 3.44 for 256MB DIMMs (but that is comparing to primarily CL3 PC133 since I don't screen for CAS latency when looking at prices).

Was the Samsung PC2100 really CL2 or actually CL2.5? CL2 would be very nice.

I'd like to see some benchmarks comparing CAS2 and CAS2.5/3 DDR performance. All the DDR reviews I've seen so far have been using the higher CAS parts.
