I am a bit confused here. I have the XFX 680i LT motherboard and according to the specs on Tiger Direct it will only support PC6400 (800 MHz) RAM. I went to their website and looked at the specs for this motherboard and it says you can run PC8500 on it. I am a bit confused as to which one is right.
Also, I have the Corsair XMS2 DHX PC6400 DDR2 800MHz Memory in the computer right now (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3089875&CatId=2261). Can it be overclocked to the speeds of the PC8500 with latencies of 4-4-4-12?
Would I be better off overclocking the above RAM or getting the CORSAIR Dominator DHX PC8500 DDR2 1066MHz Memory (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145043).
