[QUOTE="IamDeMan, post: 1452227, member: 557673"] No you can out higher in. the number just represents what it's max speed is rated for. Much like how a speaker can be rated for 500WRMS, but you can still run it with 300WRMS just fine. PC3200 and PC2700 are identical in price anyway and is more abundant. If you don't plan on updating the mobo and cpu platform then just throw the cheapest 1GB of PC3200 you can find from one of the reputable brands I listed earlier and you will be goo. I am not 100% convinced that this will give you the level of play in your games you want though. Yes you do need more than 256MB of RAM, but your video card is seriously lacking in it's ability to display full high quality visuals at high resolution without putting a hit on frame rates. Which GF4 do you have BTW? If it is an MX than that is nothing more than a GF2 with higher clocks. if it's Ti4200 or better than at least it has the extra instruction sets and functions, but is still getting long in the tooth.
