Just ordered some components including a Gigabyte S3 board (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-064-GI)
Was recommended to get some PC2-5300 memory for it but, since the PC2-6400 was exactly the same price, I got 1GB or Geil ULL PC2-6400 (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-057-GL)
Now, firstly, just noticed that the motherboard states 533MHz, i.e. PC2-4300 1.8v. Now, is the 6400 RAM going to run in there at all and at the correct volatage (it needs 1.9v at least).
Secondly, if it is okay, am I still better sending it back and getting some 4300 (which is £20 less) or am I likely to be able to use the extra frequency headroom of this 6400?
Thanks all...
