Hi all, I have what I think will be an easy question for you to answer.
I am looking to upgrade my mobo and cpu.
Here is the mobo I am thinking about...

and here is the CPU...
http://www.newegg.com/product/Product.asp?item=N82E16819104231
My question is, can I use my 2x512 sticks of 266 ram? It says DDR 400, but will my ram work, or do I need new ram?
If if does work, how much of a performance hit will I really notice. My current rig is an Athlon XP 2600+, so I am sure I won't notice a difference between the ram speeds.
Thanks
