Hello everyone!
I was wondering if the following ram would work with my MSI K9N Neo-F Nforce 550 motherboard:

OCZ DDR2 2048MB Value Pro Series

PC-5400 2x1024MB 667MHz. (5-5-5-10)

Link to the store's information:

Currently im running TwinMos DDR2 PC2-5300 667Mhz dual channel kit with 2 1024 MB sticks "however i had to set voltage to 2.05 for them to work."

Will the OCZ sticks work? If not im happy to receive any suggestions as to what ram that might be a good choice. Thank you

My brother just ordered that board and very similar memory. I'll let you know if it works on Friday, if that's not too late. hehe

You DONT want DDR2-667 with AM2. 8O
Although it WILL work.

Care to elaborate?

My brother is getting an X2 3800+ so the memory divider should select the right speed, right?
2000Mhz / 6 = 333.3MHz (DDR2 667)
Or am I missing something...

OCZ ram has some issues with the AM2 platform. I don't think this will work. Avoid DDR2-667 anyway. If you're going AM2, get DDR2-800 ram.
