Question on memory for the P5N32-E SLi Motherboard??

[Notorious Lee]

The Asus P5N32-E SLi motherboard features data transfer rates of 800/667 & 533 MHz for memory.

Does this mean that I would be wasting my time & money purchasing DDR2 Ram offering speeds of over 800MHz?

Thanks.

It supports up to 1333MHz.

There's not really much point getting over 800MHz though. It's quite a bit more expensive for not that much more performance (feel free to tell me I'm wrong).

Just get some 800MHz Crucial Ballistix and overclock it.
