What PC2700 or PC3200 RAM is recommended for the MSI K7N2-L motherboard? I have searched MSI's web site for this information but haven't found anything. Please advise.

I have been looking at the following RAM chips...

KINGSTON KVR333X72C25/512 512MB 333MHz DDR PC2700 ECC DIMM CL2.5

KINGSTON KVR333X64C25/512 512MB 32x64 PC2700 DDR RAM OR

CRUCIAL MICRON 512MB 64x64 PC 2700 DDR RAM

What is the difference between the KINGSTON KVR333X72C25 and the KINGSTON KVR333X64C25?

Is it worth the extra money to buy PC3200 DDR RAM rather then slower PC2700?


Thank you in advance for your help,


Conrad

<A HREF="http://www.msi.com.tw/html/support/testreport/6570Delta/memory.pdf" target="_new">Here</A> is what MSI has tested. I run Corsair TwinX512-2700LL in my K7N2-L and have had not one memory problem.
The KVR333x72c25 is ECC, which is error correction which requires a MB that supports ECC(NForce2 MBs don't). It slows down performance and is mainly for servers with sensative data.
