RAM compatibility new system setup

[Grovlam]

Hi all

This subject has properly been covered a 1000 times. If so I apologies.

I have just bought the below described component because I could get it at cost price; the time was limited, so I had to make a quick decision on which parts to buy.

I haven’t received the HW yet and cannot change my order.

Looking at the specifications of the ordered HW, I am wondering if the RAM that I ordered can run with the system setup?

Is there any performance gain with the pc85000 over the pc6400? (Or did I just waist my money on these RAM blocks?)

INTEL Core2Duo E6850 3000 LGA775 4MB ATX
5 ASUS P5K Premium/WIFI-AP Socket775 FSB1333 ATX P35 RAID PCI-Express 8CH(HD) LAN
DDR2 HyperX KINGSTON 2GB RAMKit 2x1GB DDR2 PC2-8500 1066MHz nonECC 5-5-5-15


ASUS EN8800GTS HTDP 640MB DDR3 RTL

WD Raptor 74GB HDD 10000rpm SATA serial ATA 16MB cache 3.5" internal RoHS compliant

Your ram will run Fine ,

PC2 8500 vs PC2 6400 :
well , both rams are good , the difference between 2 arent noticeable, i recommend PC2 8500 IF u want to OC very much, (although there are many users who has OC'd their CPU very nice with DDR2 800 ram)

Thanks for the quick answer.
What speed will my PC2 8500 RAM run at, if not OC?

I think it will run @ 800MHZ ,
