You can think of RAM as an incredibly fast hard drive that stores information temporarily instead of permanently. When you start a program it is loaded from the hard drive into RAM. When a program is running in RAM it can run hundreds to thousands of times faster than it can if run directly from the hard drive. The problem is that the capacity of a standard hard drive is many times the size of a computer''s RAM size, meaning it is possible to load so many programs that the RAM can no longer hold them. When that happens, your computer''s virtual memory kicks in, and that''s bad. Virtual memory is simply your hard drive trying to act like a RAM chip. Since the hard drive is so much slower than real memory, programs stutter and sometimes crash when the hard drive has to do a job it was never designed for. There are only two solutions to this problem: close some programs until virtual memory is no longer needed, or add more physical memory. If you can afford it (and current memory prices are low enough that practically anyone should be able to), the latter solution is always preferable.

We have shipped thousands of sticks of RDRAM so we can tell you with 100% certainty that you can use PC800 memory with your PC600 or PC700. You CAN add faster modules to a slower system, but there is no real benefit to doing so. If this is not the case, make sure that you did not accidently bump into and dislodge any cables or power connectors when you were working in the case. This is a further means of eliminating the possibility of errors when reading the data in memory and is used when the data returned from memory is extremely critical, such as in scientific or financial calculations where the integrity of the data is CRITICAL. It also allows a module to be built using more chips, allowing for larger capacity modules to be made.
