Ram 800 / 1066

[jkcampbell730]

If my mother board has Standard 240-pin DDR2 800 RAM, will it be able to support the 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) style?

If its highest standard is DDR2 800 it will run 1066 but just back clock it to 800. If you overclock it would give you more headroom.

How much can you overclock on a standard 800?

It really depends on the Ram make and model, there all different. You could have some value ram that just makes 800 stable or some performance memory that could do 1066 with a voltage bump and higher timming.

Depends largely on the type of RAM you buy, but also on the motherboard that you have.

Roger that, thanks.
