Hi to all sifus,

recently, i was thinking to upgrade my 2gb ddr2 value ram to 4gb right afterr the launch of Windows 7...haha.. biggrin.gif

but the problem is is my computer system will compatiple with the Kingston HyperX 1066 Ram 2gb x 2?

i search through google and found out some people using this board say it got some issues when 1066 ram, but due to i was newbie who just start to learn OC, theory-tically, so i can't even know what are those technical word they post... sweat.gif

the main concern now is any sifu here try before using 1066 without OC on this board ? or it must be OC to fully used the 1066 ram?

i came out the idea to buy 1066 is because the price is quite as same as those 800mhz...

Thanks and sorry if i ask a noob question... notworthy.gif notworthy.gif tongue.gif

Kingston seems to suggest up to DDR2 800..
but u can still buy DDR2 1066..if its not compatible it will underclock itself...

hi, thanks for the info..i'd check my board, it support 1066 DDR2..
but the list of supported memory which i download from gigabyte site is really limited due to they not update it already...

i think i better stick to 800 DDR2, since for a newbie like me, 1066 ram will be a wasted... tongue.gif
cos i check through some review, it say they needa oc the volt to 2.2-2.3v and with 5-5-5-15 only it can run at 1066..

but still, im doubt about wat if i don't want to oc it? will it had difference with 800 ram? because as i understand from web, 1066 is just another pcs of 800 ddr which can oc better...

for DDR2 800, any brand recomendation?
