D D R 2....?????
I am in the process of converting from DDR to DDR2.I had 2 gig's of Corsair XMS DDR-400 installed{4 sticks}.I am installing 1 gig of Corsair XMS DDR2{1 stick} cause it's soooo expensive.And I will put another stick in later when it comes down in price.Am I going to see a hit in preformance when gameing going from 1 gig to 2????....Also,I am going from 8xAGP to PCI Express.What differance will I see in preformance when gameing???.....Thanks!

no noticible diffrence, except your wallet will be much lighter
ram is bottlenecked because of the harddrive and 16x pcix isn't going to show improvements over 8x for a while. maybe you'll get 200 fps instead of 180 but its not noticable. sounds like with either system you won't be lagging. |

I'm not sure how much difference the DDR2 will make, since they have high latencies currently, might help a bit. But the PCI-E will not make any difference.

PCI was getting old, and they needed a new standard with more bandwidth available for high-bandwidth add-in cards, such as Gigabit Ethernet or the future 10-Gb Ethernet. So PCI-E is being put into place, and graphics is coming along with it, since AGP can't run on the PCI-E bus.
DDR2 of course was implenented to allow higher clock speeds, since DDR was going to top out soon. |

DDR2 won't be worth it till lower latencies and the price goes down.
