You're obviously not quite clear on memory. DDR actually stands for double data rate. So 667MHz is the effective clock speed of the memory. I'm not sure exactly with DDR2, but I think that your memory will only go to 767MHz effective.

Should a person choose their ram based on how high they plan to run their FSB? Say I want to run a stock FSB of 800, their's no point to buy anything higher than PC3200 right? If I want to overclock and not run a divider, then I should get higher freq. ram? I know this is basic, but I'm looking for clarification. ![]() |
