If the DDR2 800 can clock better than the DDR2 1066, why buy the 1066?

whats wrong with ddr3? and why would you ever buy ddr2 800 over 1066?

Well I had a set of OCZ SLI ram 1066 2X1GB, they wouldnt run stock settings well. Sold em and got Tracer 800's...they do 1100MHz 4X1GB....

I guess I should have stayed with the 1066's? :rolleyes:

Because not every 800Mhz kit will do 1066MHz. Besides, 1066 kits are usually only a couple dollars more. I'll pay a couple extra bucks to know for sure that 1066 is guaranteed.

Then you should've rma'd them for being defective. Or they weren't compatible with your setup. Either way, it had nothing to do with the fact they were rated for 1066MHz. Plus you are comparing 2 different brands.

And don't forget, a good portion of the recent 800Mhz Tracers and Ballistix are single sided, and clock worth shit. From what I understand, the 1066 kits are still double sided. Just something else to consider.

All in all, the most important consideration is the quality of the kit you plan to buy, the second is the speed. I'd take older ballistix 800 over 1066 OCZ SLI ram any day. But I'd sure as hell choose Ballistix 1066 over Ballistix 800 any day as well.

I agree wile-e I was just showing how narrow his view was on 800MHz vs 1066's. Not always is it best to buy the rated stuff!

Also the 800's are usually cheaper and top out close enough to the same as the 1066's do!

hope you enjoy them if you have one single problem send them back and I will rma them through trascend. Warning don't use more than 2.2v ever. They are the best , most stable ddr2 I have ever seen and will let you achieve a stable overclock when other ram will not, but to say they are voltage sensitive is a understatement. The great thing is they have a liftetime warranty through me.
