Is the upgrade from ddr2 667 to ddr2 800 worth it?

[umairh]

Hi . My machine is dual core E2160 (1.8Ghz) and I currently have 2 GB of corsair value select
DDR2 @ 667Mhz. Will I witness a worth while performance increase if I replace my current ram with 2 GB DDR2 @ 800 Mhz. I wont be planning to do any overclocking.

Thanks.

Short answer: No, you will not see a worth while performance increase.

i second that one - memory only changes these days aren't the huge performance gainers of the past you would have a much larger increase if you say - got a processor of the same speed but with 4 megs of cache. That set up as it is wouldn't be capping out the FSB bandwidth for 667 so just stick with what you have for now unless you get a faster processor or overclock it like mad

No, not worth it by a long shot.
