The new motherboard I want: Foxconn 945P7AA-8EKRS2 (uses DDR2-667) I currently have 2x1GB DDR2-533 sticks. They're the same brand and worked fine in my old machine. Will I be able to use this RAM safely on this board or am I forced to get DDR2 667 memory? Short on cash which is why I'm trying to make due. I selected this motherboard for the upgrade because I wanted to use the Intel Pentium D 945 Presler 3.4GHz Processor. Thank you for the help!

DDR2 533 is 240 pin
DDR2 667 is 200 pin This post has been edited by dc3: Feb 11 2007, 03:09 AM -------------------- Lord, may we please have a little more chlorine in the gene pool?
