C2D Setup, Which memory to use

[Skidd]

At the moment Im running my C2D with 2 512MB DDR2-800 C5 Stick from corshair, I have now come across 4 512MB DDR2-667 C4 sticks from corshair that I may use, Should keep the DDR2-800 in there and just two of these sticks in or should I replace the DDR2-800 with the DDR2-667 sticks?

Are you overclocking?

Yeah, I did some testing last night and finally ended up with a the 4 667 sticks.

It can still hit 3.2ghz, Im thinking these sticks are the same as the DDR2-800 C5 sticks just rated lower as they hit 400mhz still with looser timings.

Then I would ditch the new 667s. They will limit your OC. If you put those in there with the 800s, they will all run like 667s.
