Wait for the G.Skill 6400 HZ kit coming next week. It will go beyond 1000MHz even though it is only rated for 800Mhz.

Does DDR1 work with Conroe in the Asrock Twin board? What is the performance like compared to DDR2 if it does?

maddness · 27 Jun 2006 at 20:54

does work but ive not tried it.

assume it would work on a automatic devider.
