Matching AMD64 to memory help

[LRTom]

Hi all, first post here.

Is it worth getting memory faster than DDR400 3200 for an AMD 64? I ask this question because I have read that this is the fastest memory AMD 64 will support.

I'm running at the moment:

3500+ Winchester
Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe
2GB standard DDR400 3200 memory
6600GT

I have just got the board and want to start some mild overclocking, but can see my memory is going to be the stumbling point.

Ok. Thanks.

So to follow on, is there any advantage to running faster memory than DDr400 3200 on an AMD 64? i.e. might it give me more head room when overclocking etc

Excellent, thank you! All is clear now
