Memory speed on AMD Board
I have DDR2-800 memory but am putting it in a AMD Board that only goes up to DDR2-667. What should i do. should "Overclock" it (that won't be overclocking because it already supports that) or should i drop the speed?

Re: Memory speed on AMD Board
should just be able to pop it in and the board will default to 667MHz... If you want to overclock the board up to 800MHz on the memory (if it can) then feel free!

Re: Memory speed on AMD Board
If you want to over clock the CPU I would leave the memory at DDR667 but you should be able to set the memory at DDR800, what slots do you have the modules in?
