The dfifference is the speed it runs at PC3200 = 400mhz? and PC2100 = 266 i think, but if u do get a PC3200 be careful because some mobo dont surport it also will only run at the slowest speed of the memory installed.

System 1 :- Main PC: AMD XP 3200+ - OC Slightly 2.31Ghz, 1024 MB DDR PC2700, 1 x 40GB Hard Drive, 1 x 60GB Hard Drive, ATI 9600XT (256 MB)Graphics Card.

the difference between ddr 2100 and ddr 3200

2100 runs at 133MHZ 3200 runs at 200MHz 200 - 133 = 77

difference is 77MHz
