Double your bandwidth for dual-channel systems (i850, i7500, nF2). Don't buy into the megahurts crap. And the higher the frequency the greater the proportion of transmission errors. Thanks to this overhead, 333Mhz DDR outperforms 400MHz DDR by a small margin for most applications.

I hope to upgrade my system in Jan/Febr.
Plan to get:
ASUS A7N8X NForce 2
AMD XP2400+ and HSF
two Corsair Memory XMS 3500 512Mb
Geforce4 Ti4600 or GF FX depending on cash at hand...

Will run the Corsair in Dual Channel, and hope to duplicate anandtech.com. (200Mhz, and timings 2-2-2-4)

Yep, Megahertz is a marketing myth. Even at the simplest level- MHz speaks to cycles per second- timing- MHz says nothing about how many operations are performed during that "cycle"... without both sides 'n x n' you have no relevant info about performance.

A dell 8250 with 1.5 Gig memory and a 3.06(Pentium 4) it has hyper threading, with this hyperthreading different regions in the processer like the floating point unit which is used for decimal math, and the integer unit can process different threads of an application at the same time, this beats most current chips by a lot, about 30 perce. Now that is processing and memory. -----Edit cause I was doing serveral things at once on the damm machine.
