I have a motherboard that supports DDR2-667, however I want to purchase some DDR2-800 memory because I'm looking to upgrade my motherboard in the near future. Will the memory work fine in my motherboard? And if so, will it affect performance when compared to DDR2-667?

I know you used to be able to put faster DDR1 in a motherboard that supported slower DDR1, but I want to make sure this is the case with DDR2 before making a purchase!
