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.
