It really depends on what programs you are running. Some programs will benefit from the 2gb of the ram running at ddr2 667, while other generally smaller programs won't use more than 1gb of ram so they will benefit from the faster speed. So what type of programs will you generally be running?

Just so you know, 2x1GB of DDR2-800 would be the best combo.

Ya Fuhzy but he already had the 4 sticks, and is running an intel so he doesn't have to worry about the onboard memory controller. No point in spending the $300 on a 2x1GB kit of ddr2800.

Comments on this post

Fuhzy Wuzzie agrees: Yes, but then he could to go 4GB in the future!

madhyena agrees: The benefits of an Intel platform.
