I just bought a 1GB stick of PC2700 on Ebay, to put in my DVR server. It is rated at CAS 3, but could it possibly run at 2.5 on a PC2100 board? I know some PC133 could be run at CAS 2 on PC100 boards, but not sure if it works the same for DDR.
Also, how long will it take for a gold plated DIMM to mess up a tin plated socket? I've never worried about it, but some people insist that it will corrode.
I have 384MB of ram in my Linux based DVR server, but TOP reports that there is only about 3MB free at any given time, with about 100MB of swap used. Hopefully more ram will improve performance, because it has gone up to a load level of 6.5 at times
