True, but that depends on his motherboard and the type of RAM he's buying. I'm guessing by his questions that he's not planning on overclocking. Overclocking would require a motherboard that allowed front side bus and multiplier controls as well as an unlocked CPU (probably is since his CPU is a Thoroughbred B-Core Athlon XP) on top of really, really nice RAM.
He also mentioned the decision of buying 512 MB of PC3200 as a replacement or 512 MB of PC2700 extra. 1 GB of PC2700 is gonna outperform 512 MB of PC3200 with an OC'ed CPU any day of the week.
