Hi all,

I'm about to buy the above board and I see from the Crucial web site (UK)
that it supports PC2-3200 and PC2-4200. Would like to buy from the
'Ballistix' range (2x512 DDR2 PC2-4200 BL6464AA53V). But further down the
page I see that DDR2 PC2-5300 is 'Most Popular' (BL6464AA664).

Is the PC2-5300 only for "overclocked" setups, or can it be used in a
"standard" setup?

When I say "standard" I don't mean nothing changed. I will probably
select/enable a few things in the bios e.g. 'AI NOS' 'Hyper Path2' and
'Intel PAT' to get a "bit" more performance (CS:S, Doom3 etc ...) but no
real overclocking in the true sense (as I don't know that much about it).

Many thanks in advance

Matt U.K.

Runs great in my P5AD2 at stock speed, no overclocking.
