New RAM on GA-7N400 Pro 2 question

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.gigabyte (More info?)

I currently have 1 512 MB PC2700 (333) memory module and would like to go
up to 1 GB.

Should I get another matching memory module, or is it worth it to get a set
of matching PC3200 (400) memory modules and try to sell the old PC2700?

I mean each module cost about $75, is there really that much difference
between DDR333 and DDR400, or does the cache pretty much even things out?
