One final question (i know :rolleyes:

)

The motherboard supports up to DDR2 800. Does that mean I cannot run pc2-8500, you know the frequencys of 1000mhz and co. Or can you overclock

steve258 · 19 Jan 2007 at 16:13

You can use any DDR2, they only claim it supports DDR2 800 because that's the highest official specification according to industry standard.

You will have to do some serious overclock to need the PC8500 RAM.
