Best memory for CPU/Motherboard pair

[jaywalker]

I'm getting an E6750 (1333 FSB) with an Asus P5KPL (1333 FSB)... just wondering what memory i should get, 667 or 800. I read somewhere that 667 is the best match for that cpu. something about the 800 would be clocked down anyway and won't be working at full potential. Is that true?

As long as you aren't overclocking, 667 is the best bet for you.

 

[jaywalker]

but will be able to to mild fsb overclocking with the 667 right?

 

[lolitha]

yeah it will be possible

DDR2-800 has a negligible price difference over 667 and will guarantee moderate FSB overclocking while maintaining a 1:1 ratio. Definitely opt for that instead.
