Ram upgrade
wutsup ppl, im looking into upgrading my computer ram but i have some questions.. right now i have 2 x 512 of kingston memory, im pretty sure they are at 533 mhz. Now i opened up my pc , (its an HP workstation xw 4300), and on the side is a sticker and it recomends DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) ram. Does that mean that i cant put in ddr2 800 mhz (PC2 6400) ram like these?? :

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145590


and if i could get these will i still be able to use with the ram i have now???

PS: tnx in advance

Your motherboard supports up to 8GB's of ram. So you could use the existing ram with a new set of ram but you need to make sure that the ram you do choose is ECC compliant. Also would be good thing to stay within spec of DDR2 667. Your CPU does support 1066FSB though so that is why I say it is a good idea...

Cheap and great performance, what can I say ?

LE: your first option will do also, don't forget that a 800MHZ memory can run on 667MHZ but not inverse

The only reason I hesitated w/ the 800MHz ram was I have seen some motherboards in prebuilt computers not be able to boot with ram that is spec-ed higher than what the motherboard is rated for.

Just trying to play it safe as he most likely can not adjust vDimm voltages if needed.
