What speed memory do I need..

[yuppi]

I am confused on what memory my motherboard/processor needs. I put a new CPU in my system and the new processor has 800Mhz FSB as opposed to my old processor having 533Mhz FSB. I figure I'll go from 1GB to 2GB memory. Should I be buying PC3200 or PC6400? Which one will my motherboard support? My motherboard is ASUS P5S800-VM and my processor is Pentium 4 670 3.8Ghz.

Your board uses 184 pin ddram, not ddr2. You need pc3200.

Thanks for the quick reply. That's the answer I needed.

Wow thats gotta be the only motherboard i have ever seen with socket775 AGP and DDR i didnt think that would exist.

PC3200 is the right stuff 😉

I bought it when it came out due to it's ability to overclock, but it turns out you can't overclock with this mobo. 🙁

Well, you can, but it adjusts the settings for you.. either 5%, 10%, etc. With another revision of this mobo supposedly you can manually adjust voltage up a bit. Without that, overclocking doesn't get very far.
