[QUOTE="FreQi, post: 244286, member: 52235"] I currently have a [URL="http://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16813128059"]GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L[/URL] motherboard which says it supports DDR2 1066 RAM, so I bought a [URL="http://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148069"]Crucial Ballistix 2GB DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit[/URL]. Well, I've been having nothing but problems, and I have been blaming it on the motherboard. I already returned one board to NewEgg and the second has worked better until these last coule days where I have had ramdom freezes, reboots and lockups. But I digress... I am considering getting an [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813127030"]ABIT IP35 Pro[/URL] to replace the motherboard, but I noticed that it lists DDR2 800 as the Memory Standard. My question is, will DDR2 1066 Memory work in a mobo that supports DDR2 800? IE, will the RAM step down the speed and work, or will I need to get new memory? And in case anyone asks, I also have an Intel Q6600 CPU, an [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814121076"]ASUS EN8600GT SILENT/HTDP/256M[/URL] video card and a [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817151032"]SeaSonic S12 II SS-380GB ATX12V 380W[/URL] Power Supply.
