DDR2 Woes

[Frode222]

So its been asked a lot, and I have been doing research, just wanted to make sure before I bought.

Is it ok to mix speeds 800 vs 1066, and timing, 5-5-5-15 vs 4-4-4-12?

I have G.Skill 800 2gb right now, and want to go up to four. Should I just stick with the same? or purchase 2gb of 1066 at cl5 now, and 2gb more later?

CPU: e7200
MoBo: ASUS P5Q Pro

thanks you guys!

If you mix the RAM your system will underclock the faster set to match slower set. So its of no help buying the faster RAM.
