If you are using a 333 Mhz fsb Athlon or less, you won't notice a big performance increase.

PC2700 is noted to be quite faster on memory benchmarks than PC3200 with 333mhz FSB AthlonXPs (I don't know about P4s)...this is because it runs at lower latency timings than PC3200 does at the moment.

I would say stick with pc2700, as it's cheaper and is still very good unless you had something like dual channel memory if your motherboard supports it and you were running a motherboard that will stabily use the memory at the full 200mhz, also the amd athlon 3000+ has a 400mhz fsb. I would recommend sticking to what works best with the product. If you don't have a 400mhz fsb or 333mhz core then use the pc2700.
