Hello,
I am building a computer with Asus P5N-D mobo (memory standard DDR2 800), I have picked Core 2 Quad Q6600 cpu that has FSB of 1066. Also for RAM I have chosen muskin 2X 2GB DDR2 800.
According to Asus Tech manual it is recommended that I use 4 sticks of 1 GB DDR2 800 in all four slots. If I want to used just 2 slots with 2GB sticks the recommendation is of DDR2 667 or DDR2 533.
So, the question is would it be a problem if I used 2 sticks of 2GB DDR2 800, even if it's not recommended. I know that there is a missmatch in processor freq and the RAM freq, but I am thinking ahead and I want to get a RAM that operates at higher frequency.
Your advice is much appreciated... thank you
