I have a mobo that supports a max RAM speed of PC4200 533Mhz RAM. Can I run PC5400 667Mhz RAM on my mobo? The reason I ask is in 8 months I'm going to upgrade to Core 2, Vista, but I need more RAM now so i am kind of upgrading now for later instead of waisting money twice. Some people have stated that some brands of RAM will just slow to what ever speed the mobo supports, and my local computer store is selling OZ select 2x1GB sticks for $150.00.
