    I'm running currently in my system
    MSI motherboard MS-6570 V1 (K7N2 delta)
    AMD Athlon XP 2000+ Socket A, oc'd to 2600
    Aerolite Cooler {ample cooling}
    Videocard FX5700LE-TD256
    Ramm Kingston dual 256 PC 3200 DDR400
    Kinston 1 GB PC 3200 DDR400
    And I've bewn looking at some High density ddr ramm...
    =>2x1GB RAM 128x64 High Density PC2700, 333Mhz 2.5V Latency 2.5 non ECC. to be exact. and i dont know whether or not it will be compatable with my system... obviously i'll dump the rest and just run the hd ddr i think i can run it but i'm not sure on the config in bios.. anyone have any idea whether it will run!?!
    cheers Ghandi

    even the hd ram will not run as good as dual channel pc-32oo pc400. if it were me I would get a amd 64bit socket 939 and a new motherboard put the 1gig kingston memory. run a 2000 mhz front side bus and never look back! you will see a 100 percent increase in performance on all levels!

    Thats sounds Pretty flash! at the moment i haven't got the dosh to go to that extreme for an upgrade. I have a xp3200 barton core i was running but its a bit sick :( it keeps rebooting for no reason. it ran cool enough and wasn't overclocked had a good power supply, so i don't know what happened to it... but you think go the whole hog and go 64 bit..

    clean the gold contacts on the ram with a pencil eraser not ink eraser to see if that solves the rebooting

    AHh thats not a bad idea but, the ram is running fine with the processor in there now. so could it be causing that problem with the xp 3200 only? its seems strange but i can see where you are coming from.. poor voltage transmission/ high resistance join? i'll try it out and let you know cheers
