hi there

at the moment i am running 1066 ddr2 memory. is it possible to have ddr2 800 running on my board at the same time?

just want to know cause i have 4 gig of 800 laying on my desk winking at me going "make your computer faster by putting me in :pt1cable: " but afraid that if i do that ill blow something up. :pfff:

specs are up to scratch in my signature cept for the cpu which i am pushing at 4.55 ghz :lol: :lol: :lol:

thanks for any help in advance!

It should work, but all of your memory would be running at the speed of the slower memory.

What voltage are you running on that E8500 by the way?

Why would you want to? I mean 4gb or 1066 is about $45. 4gb of 800 is about $40.

Your 1066 will be running at 800 if you mix it with 800.
