Hi i just purchased a Asus P5KPL-AM EPU motherboard and in the manual in the ram section it only says about 667/800/1066(oc) mhz speed.i only have 2x1GB kingston 533 mhz ram.Will it be a problem if i install the 533 ram or it will not work?My CPU is Intel E5300
 
RAM is backwards compatible, so RAM running at 533MHz. will not be a limiting factor for use with the MB. Will it work? The fact that it is rated at 533MHz. does not make it incompatible, so yes it should.
