Can you use 1066 RIMMS on intel 850E boards?

[Hodor]

I was wondering if it is possible to use the latest 1066 speed Rambus memory on the Intel D850EMV2 board. I'm also interested in your thoughts on what 850E board would be the best 'out of the box' for someone that is NOT going to overclock.

Thanks.

I always like ASUS boards. Although they are not as fancy as others, (plain pcb color, etc.) they are the fastest, most stable, and well constructed.

As far as using PC1066 RDRAM on the Intel D850EMV2 motherboard, the memory will run at a fixed PC800 speed - and Intel motherboards will use only the officially supported speeds for processor and memory, with no way whatsoever of changing those speeds.
