    Hi everyone. I currently own a Gigabyte GA-8N-SLI Royal mobo, and am waiting on 4GB OCZ SLI Ready DDR800 memory. As my mobo only supports DDR667 I was wondering if it was possible to run DDR800 @ 800Mz in a mobo that is only compatibale up to DDR667 if i overclocked it to its certified speed?

    thanks in advance

    it should work as long as everything else can keep up with it i.e. the mobo's bus speed ect.
