    How come? The reason I ask is I can get only the exact model I said for a cheap price.

    I read through that forum and I still don't understand why 3200 > 2700.

    I heard 3200 is faster than 2700, but would upgrading to 2GB from 1GB of ram using the 2700 be better than my stock brand ram?
