He has the wrong memory doesnt he? 4200? The 6600 cpu is 800mhz fsb. 800mhz memory is pc6400. Choosing the gigabyte board he can o/c that 6600 to the moon and strap 1:1 with better then 6400 memory right? Or did I miss something here? I'm sort of in the same endeavor. Slap me if my facts arnt straight. :slap:

It's a 1066 cpu so 533 memory (pc4200) would work just 2:1. "My bad" (god I hate that term)

Two slap.

Core 2 Duo has the most ridiculous ratios that its almost something to literally ROFL at.

Thanks for your suggestions. XVI, I will look to find some dual channel memory. KTR, thanks for the board suggestion. I am going to purchase this one over the EPS board. In my current machine, I have a gig of mem and it is compatable with the board you suggested, so I would only need to buy one more gig of mem. Thanks again for all of your suggestions!

I could be wrong (Afterall, I'm an AMD fanboy), but from what I heard..
It's not a 1066FSB CPU. It's a Quad Pumped 266FSB CPU.

Quad Pumped at 1066FSB = Real 266FSB = 266MHz FSB Memory = DDR2-533 = PC4200
1066FSB divided by 4 = 266FSB. 266FSB at 1:1 = 266MHz memory. 266MHz memory times 2 (Double Data Rate) = DDR2-533. DDR2-533 times 8 bits = PC4264 (Aka: PC4200)

Again, I could be wrong, but that would explain why DDR533 is so popular (compared to higher speed memory)...

You can do it but you're going to decrease your oc potential.

True. That's why these DDR800 chips exist.
