My company is looking to by me a new computer. Unfortunately I can't build my own and have to get a dell. I have spec'd out a new precision with a C2D E6700 with a 1066 FSB. However the RAM that dell sells is only DDR2-667. I have talked with our sales rep and he has assured me that the mother board they use will support the DDR2-1066 memory.
My question is will there be a noticeable performance hit if any running the PC at 667MHz FSB. I haven't been keeping up on processor and RAM for the past couple of years. In the past wouldn't even work. Should I spec the precision out with the minimum RAM and purchase the 1066 from another vendor?
