I am preparing a new build for my son, aged 12. I am by no means current, just past being a newbie. Just how critical is the type of memory, ie, ddr2-800 vs ddr2-667?
The reason for this question is that I have picked the E6400 to go into an ASUS P5N-E SLI with the 650i chipset. Reading reviews and such, I see that it is picky on memory, so I went to the ASUS site and downloaded the approved memory list. Newegg not listing much of the -800 that is on the list. Other info that you might need to help me, no overclocking, plan on using the sli video setup, computer mainly used for the foreseeable future playing MMORPG like W.O.W.
While I have your attention, what about timing? How important is it for this application?
Thanks to all that gives their time with this. I really appreciative it.
