The S5000NX comes with a PC2700 DIMM, but runs it at PC2100 speed, which is
why Crucial lists PC2100 DIMMs for that model. With DDR memory, most 400MHz
FSB Intel processor PCs run
PC2100 RAM (as do most AMD machines with 200 or 266MHz fsb). 533MHz bus
Intel machines (and 333MHz AMDs) normally run PC2700. 800MHz bus Intel
machines use PC3200.
