Basically the final decision
comes down to what you plan on doing with your system. If you already have some
Advanced American Megatrends SDRAM laying around (PC66) and you don't plan on breaking the
112MHz Front Side Bus Speed barrier, then you might as well stick with your current SDRAM
and spend the money you saved on something more worth while. If you're purchasing
new SDRAM for your BX Motherboard, and either don't plan on overclocking at all, or don't
plan on going past the 112MHz FSB Speed then you might as well pick up your choice of
'-G8/GL' CAS-3 PC100 SDRAM Modules, depending on who you feel more comfortable ordering
from. The only two reasons for going with the more expensive '-GH' CAS-2 PC100
Modules are either that you want to run at the 133MHz bus speed, or that you have some
money to waste and feel like getting the best out there. There have been cases in
which older PC100 modules or even PC66 modules rated at 100MHz have miraculously worked at
the 133MHz bus speed, however situations such as those are very rare. In conclusion,
we can pretty much say that all PC100 DIMMs are created equal, some are just more equal
than others.
