    I'm doubtful. The board only supports up to PC5400 speed RAM.

    As my understanding of these things go, it should work fine, but it's a waste, since it won't run at 800. It'll be downclocked to 667 automatically due to the limitation of your board.

    Where I said "As my understanding...," I should have said "As my LIMITED understanding..."

    I'm not exactly a reputable source on this. It's just what I picked up by looking into memory upgrades for my own machine on the intertubes.

    True, but there's no 100% guarantee, and since PC5400 is cheaper, may as well buy that to start with.
