Asus M2N-E & DDR2 Memory

[Peter van der Goes]

Asked this in the Asus group a couple of days ago. Appears nobody there
knows (or has an opinion)...

Two questions, actually...
1. If you have a M2N-E, what brand of memory are you using (and. what
speed)?
2. How much of a performance hit does one take if DDR2-533 or DDR2-667
memory is used instead of DDR2-800?

Corsair XMS2 are popular

@ Newegg.com
DDR2 533 (pc4300) 512Mb $60.00
DDR2 675 (pc5400) 512Mb $78.00
DDR2 800 (pc6400) 512Mb $79.00

With AM2 (orleans) system, 400mhz FSB (ddr2 800 pc6400) or higher
memory compensates for the high latency in DDR2 ram
