Memory and Motherboard Memory Standards

[lccr987]

Hi I was wondering if you could use DDR2 667 (PC25400) dual-channel memory with a motherboard that has DDR2 800 as its Standard Memory.

Yes you can, it will work just fine. When a mobo says standard DDR2-800, it means that is the max speed that will work.

just be careful about 5300/5400.
