WHICH ONE? Cru or Mush?

[aSTAR]

My MoBo will be ASUS P4G8X Deluxe, CPU INTEL 2.66 GHz.
I would like an oppinion on a mem selection.
My thoughts are: Crucial 4-126MB 2700 Dimms $168.00 OR
Mushkin 4-126MB 2700 Dimms (BLUE) $280.00
These are the reccomended types by the Dimm Mfgrs.
Why not the 3200 Dimms?
Thanks in advance.

Unless you plan on overclocking, PC3200 would be a complete waste of money.  The Granite Bay chipset doesn't support a 400 MHz memory clock (which would require PC3200).

I just bought that motherboard.  Very nice, but it seems that the Granite Bay chipset as a whole is having some stability problems with Radeon 9700 Pro's.  Look in my XP/9700 Pro thread for details.
