What RAM speeds can it take?

[MightyKing]

EVGA 132-CK-NF78-A1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 780i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard

says that the Memory Standard is DDR2 1200... does that mean it can only take that speed? or can it take others?

 

[PC eye]

The memory standard is simply the fastest speed memory will run at on a stock system. Any faster memory would run at the PC2-9600 default speed while slower supported by the board will run at the lower speed. You may not be able to run DDR2 800 memory since that will likely be too slow since generally boards will only drop two speeds lower then the standard seen.

The standard for the board is DDR2 533/677/800/1200 it wll run DDR2 800 just fine

Any performance memory is SLI ready since SLI is simply two video cards working together. The term is simply used as a marketing ploy. This has been covered 1000 times already.

PCeye any performance memory isnt SLI ready. Only memory with added EPP to the memory SPD chip is SLI ready and it has (nothing) to do with running 2 video cards in SLI, (nothing at all)
