your cpu can control 1150mhz, it's just that according to amd and such any ram speed above 1066mhz runs at one dimm per channel, but a few have found this untrue.

your pc would also run faster with 4GB of 800mhz or 1066mhz.

Imo, just grab a good set of 2*2GB DDR2 800. Take a look at the GSkill PI. Runs at 1.8v and OC quite a bit.

I agree with Shadows. Just get a good set of 2*2GB DDR2 800. I rather have more RAM than faster RAM any day.

G.Skill P.I is nice RAM, not that expensive either.
