Limitation of 667MHz Registered Ram comes only with Barcelona(Server part). Desktop parts will fully support & utilize 1066Mhz(and bellow) DDR2 memory.

Oh sorry i misread something than :(.Anyway ,little more to go till benches appear.Let's hope it makes a debut in July.

Well for a guy who didn't know K10 even had L3 :D ,you are not bad :D.Still you have a lot of catching up to do :D ;) Cheers
