If its DDR2 800 memory than it runs at 400Mhz, not 800

my mobo can go up to 1066 what size should i get if i want 800mhz or1066?

Sorry but i dont really get what youre asking

DDR2 800 runs at 400MHz

DDR2 1066 runs at 533MHz

Its more about what memory modules you have, not what speed your mobo supports
