Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe with PC3500?

[MiAvsFan33]

I am a first time builder and when I was looking at different motherboards, my eyes were on MSI K8N Neo Platinum. At this time I purchased Kingston HyperX 1GB (2x512mb) DDR 433 (PC3500) memory. Then after much research I bought the Asus A8n-SLI Deluxe Mobo. Under its specifications it stats that the DDR standard is 400 (PC 3200). Can I use the DDR433? And if so, is there something special I have to do to make it compatible with the motherboard? Thank you for your help.

Yes, you can use PC3500, but it will just automatically be set to PC3200 speeds. That PC3500 title means that the RAM has been tested to overclock to PC3500 speeds, guaranteed. It's basically PC3200 RAM that has been tested to go to PC3500 speeds.
