If your board supports PC5400, I think it should support PC8500

Don't go and buy it just because I said that though, I'm not 100% sure :p

Cool when I check abit homepage they say my board supports pc 4200 pc 5400 and pc 6400 but would love to use pc8500
 
Dominator ram is over priced imo.
Why the upgrade as you all ready have 2ghz, are you looking for a better OC or something. dont get me wrong theres some nice ram out there but knowing what you want to get out of it would help.

All so is your corsair C4 or C5 and what speed do you ran it at now
 
Seriously, you should buy an E4300 which will work better with that PC2-5400 RAM and allow a higher O/C. Then sell the E6400 for about what you paid for the new CPU. It's close to a zero cost upgrade.

Hi my current is c5 i think when i look at the setting with everest it say my cpu is running at 9% overclock and my ram is running at 4.5.5.15 @ 333mhz Yes I would like to overclock my system but im a noobie at it just thought the faster speed ram would increase my map loading times and maybe a bit better ingame fpsany suggestions would be great thanx jon
