K7nd2 delta - cpu & mem upgrade?

Question

hi all
thinking of upgrading my k7nd2 delta cpu & mem. right now i have a 2800+ cpu and corsair 1gig twin 2700-333 mem. the new memory i want to get is " Geil Ultra Series Value Dual Channel 184 Pin 2GB(2x 1GB) DDR PC-3200" and of course upgrade the cpu to 3200+.  i can afford 1 of the 2 right now, so would it be best to get the memory 1st, and will the new memory work with my 2800+ exist'g cpu??  or should i upgrade to the 3200+ cpu and keep the older slower memory??
thanks for any help.

Answer 1

Never again would i use three memory sticks in an nforce2 motherboard.
i already managed to kill two by doing so.
so that's a no-no.
and yeah geil make awesome ram, iv'e been using geil since my first ddr system and never been disappointed
if memory timings are an important thing to you [if you're a gamer and would kill for every 3dmark point] you should check their Golden Dragon Dual Channel Kit series, they're just awesome. the SPD for dual channel 400mhz is 2-3-2-6 if i'm not mistaken on them, but they can do 2-2-2-5 without problems.
or if you don't mind timings THAT much, check out the Value Dual Channel Kit series, SPD timings for dual channel 400mhz is 2.5-4-4-8, and these sticks are known to push 240+mhz on just about any overclock attempt.
