ok a noob question i am changing my wifes m/b from a am2 to a am2+/am3 m/b
she got 2 gig of ddr2 800 ram that i want to keep and was putting a cheap am3 chip in new motherboard so down the line i can upgrade more if want to she just uses it for email etcetc but when i went to site checked the motherboard specs it says
biostar A780L
Support Dual Channel DDR2 533/667/800/1066(1066 by AM2+/AM3 CPU) MHz
does that mean i need 1066 memory to run any am2+/am3 cpu or could i still use the ddr2 800 ram ??
