Oh, as far as the PC2100, PCxxxx - just go with the fastest your board will support. The rating is the bus speed that the memory runs at (correct me if I'm wrong here!) 1600 is 100Mhz (effective 200Mhz, since it's double data rate) and 2100 is 133Mhz (effective 266Mhz) ... I'm guessing that 3200 is 166Mhz (effective 333Mhz) but I've never used it... just a guess there.
