Hi,

To answer your question, yes, the RAM modules will automatically scale down to the speed of 533MHZ.

read the reviews before you buy these modules

You probably will have to relax the timings manually before booting

I am not overclocking but if you can find me 2 gb (2x1gb) for around the same price i would be happy =)

I'd stay with your first choice. Solid. Little expensive but well worth it IMO. I have the LED version.

Do you have a custom made pc? Or is it a Dell Hp etc.. If it is a dell etc.. you wont b e able to overclock or adjust timings

Looking at the price/performance/quality/future proof, this is what I would get for sure: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145590

Your system will run according to according to the FSB.

its a hp but half of every thing has been put in by me

1 g0t 0wn3d · 04-18-2007, 04:35 PM

And btw i have overclocked but to save power i put it back to normal

and it heated up to much for my micro atx case

**Kalim** · 04-18-2007, 11:46 PM

mATX usually do overheat even as default apart from the very rare that are made for purely overclocking.

I have one running at 1.78V and it needs cooling that you just can't fit into it.

geek73 · 04-19-2007, 10:21 AM

Just wondering about your overclock, are you using a software program,. or did you find an unlocked BIOS, as HP locks thier BIOS so you cannot overclock your cpu at least..

As for Ram, it will always help to buy the highest rated ram, your board can take. This will take the pressure off if you do overclock.. Like Instead of PC 400 I have pc 533 so I can overclock even higher without my ram stopping me

**TheMatt** · 04-19-2007, 04:02 PM

You will not benefit from DDR2-800 MHz RAM very much even on a Core 2 Duo machine, with the 1066 MHz FSB the best RAM you can get is DDR2-533 MHz in a dual channel pair. I would get that RAM for your computer.

I don't think you can overclock that computer since the BIOS is locked. You might be able to do it via software.

I overclocked the chipset (ie onboard video for awile) anyway soon i will be getting a new mobo (one that supports the c2d)
