I am building a new pc around the Shuttle SN41G2 mini-pc. Most of it's use will be non-intensive business apps, but for once I'd like to be able to run a game like UT2003 smoothly at 1024x768 or better.
I'm looking at throwing in an Athlon XP 2200+, which I believe is at 266fsb.
I've deduced that ddr 2100 ram is fine since it runs in sync w/ the cpu at 266.
My question is: do I buy one 512MB 2100 stick of ram, or two sticks of 256MB 2100 to get the best performance. I have no desire to overclock, as I'd like to keep the pc as cool and quiet as possible.
I haven't built a pc since the P3 PC133 days, so I'm a bit out of the loop about all the ddr lingo. Any help?
