Ineresting the AMD 2500 is a slower clock than the 2400

[Hanasaki JiJi]

Well I was thinking of an Asus a7v8x w/ a 2500barton vs 2400+xp

Any thoughts on which ram to use?  what is the cl2.0 vs 2.5?  I notice 
the kingston and crucial 2700 512meg are about $70 while the mushikan is 
  $140.  The specs look the same.
