Good ol DDR Ram huh? For you there is only one option

The best DDR Ram was the Mushkin Black Level II series, but they don't make it anymore. Yup, gotta love that 2-2-2-5 t1 timing. Well I did, untill they stoped making them and had to get a pair performance kingston RAM which lowered my timing to 2-3-2-6 T2 on the ol Athlon XP to get a total of 1.5GB. Yeah I should have gotten more than that one Mushkin 512. I thought I would be able to buy more latter, but I waited too long

If you want to overclock then look at the Muskin Redline series as well

2-2-2-5 timing is better than 2-3-2-6 right ? so the only reason i would change my 2x 512mb ram 2-2-2-5 is because i would reach a total of 2GB so double my ram capacity?

would the read/write speed of the new ram be that much lower? would I feel something slower going on in my system?
