Northwood & PC800 RDRAM?

[guptasa1]

Hey all!
Question for you. On a system that will have an Asus P4T-E motherboard and a current 478-pin Pentium 4, when Northwood comes out (which will fit fine with a BIOS update), will the PC800 RDRAM work, or will it need to be replaced? I read something about about 1066 RDRAM instead (or overclocking it too that speed). Even if PC800 works as is, will that mobo allow overclocking to PC1066 RDRAM, and is that dangerous or cause excess heat?

Thanks,

Your PC800 RAM will be fine for the Northwood, the PC1066 RAM will come a bit later on.
