Fairly simple... 2gb of DDR2 800, or 3gb of DDR2 667? And if my mobo can't even take advantage of the DDR2 800, is it worth the 40$ to return it and order another stick of DDR2 667? :bang head

ps. this is for my laptop...
 
Ok, well, you need to ask yourself if you are going to be using apps that could use the extra bandwidth or extra ram (like photoshop). I'm assuming that you would have a 1 gig and a 2gig stick to get the 3gb total?

Correct. The problem, is that the 1 gig stick comes with the laptop, and is 667. I bought a 2gb of 800 stick from OCZ, and wasn't sure if I should just take out the 1gb that came with it, or keep it in, and have it run at 667 (for the 3gb total). I'm not sure how to find out if the mobo can even run at 800 though...

What would yield a greater return when it comes to running 3 instances of WoW at the same time: Extra ram, or the faster speeds?
