OK, so the new architecture is based on DDR2 for next year and Q4 of this year. When a mobo manufacturer and processor manufacturer state that a maximum allowable module is DDR2 800. Does that mean that you cannot install DDR2 1000 and higher?
I know in our current systems, when a manufacturer states DDR400 (PC3200), we, the overclockers stuff in DDR600 and overclock the **** out of it. Because I have never seen a manufacturer blatantly state that "this processor cannot take any memory with higher frequencies than DDR2 800" until I recently discovered it in a few DDR2 articles.
Is there any difference with DDR2? Can we still put in modules with much higher frequencies then is recommended by the CPU and MOBO?
Just a newbie to Conroe/AM2 and DDR2 like everyone else here and picking some of your brains.
