My set up is as follows:
E8400
Barracuda es.2 32mb cache 250gb sata drive
evga 8800gt 512 mb
GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P35
arctic freezer 7 pro
raidmax smilodon case
acer 22" monitor
I was wondering what ram I should go with ddr2 1066 or ddr2 800 here are the two kits I was looking at.
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail

or
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail

both have the same timing and i will be ordering tonight or tomorrow based on responses of this thread.
both have 5-5-5-15 timing.
What will run faster, will the 1066 clock down or will it run faster than the 800 mhz ram. even if there is a very slight increase in speed/performance i will go with the 1066 mhz ram.
Please let me know guys as I am getting ready to order all my parts from newegg.
