DDR2 800Mhz downclock to DDR2 533Mhz???

[Technofuzz]

Haven't been on in a while, but anywho,

Me and my father are building a computer and i am pretty sure, but not 100% that you can use DDR2 800Mhz in a motherboard that tops out at DDR2 533Mhz. I thought that the memory would automatically downclock itself to the 533 level, all i need is comformation if i am wrong or if i am right..
THNX Stupid B!!

You are correct.

doubling up- you are correct. it will run at 533, and if the rams SPD modules have 533 listed, possibly at better timings than it would at 800.

you are 100% correct, be more confident man

THNX, all new DDR2 ram should have 533 listed under the supported speeds, unless you getta shitty brand right...
