Question on a AMD dual core

OK So i have been convinced to try a dual core for the new comp i am piecing together, doing something for under $1k.

Anyway i was reading about this proccessor http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103747

And this is copy and pasted from the description, It's integrated with a high-bandwidth, low-latency memory controller enabling support for up to DDR400 memory.

Does this mean i can only DDR400 or less? meaning i cannot use DDR800? like what the MB i am planning on getting can support, MSI K9N Platinum is the mobo in mind.

I may just be missunderstanding but up tp DDR400 memory does not sound that good to me, i am not finding many options for a 240 pin DDR 400, if i want this proccesor would a different mobo be the better switch?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813130049 there is the link for the mobo.

You are probably confusing the 4200+ Socket 939 model with this one. The model cpu at the link there will go right on the MSI board without problem.
 
I guess im asking more about what memory can that cpu Support i know they go the proccessor matches the mb thats not my concern the up to DDR 400 is my concern if my mobo can support a higher ram i would like the CPU to be able to run with the higher ram
 
Just wondering...have you looked into a Core 2 Duo?

If you want to go AMD that's fine, but right now C2D's are better...


Anyway, that mobo will work fine with DDR2 800.
 
You generally pick out memory according to the cpu and fsb you plan to run. When buying a board with a 1000mhz fsb and cpu to match that runs DDR2 800 memory you would backclock everything going with DDR2 667. The fsb would have to be lowered as well as seeing the cpu speed slowed down. The board and cpu are matched for running DDR2 800 without problems.
