Basic memory speed question

[chipperhead]

Just building an ultra budget pc for a friend, I've specced him a Core2 2180 cpu and a MSI 945GCM5.

Would it be ok to get Corsair 2GB DDR2 667MHz PC2-5400 Memory.
I normally get 6400/800mhz stuff so just need to check.

Yeah it'll be grand.

The E2180 runs off a 200mhz FSB (or 800mhz if you listen to Intels nonsense), and thus only needs PC2-3200 to run. But since it's very rare, and PC2-5300 is just as cheap as PC2-4200 these days, the Corsair will be more than enough.

Thanking you
