Little help please

[mrconfused]

I recently got a gigabyte 8sg667 fsb533/400 motherboard with a p4 2.4b ghz 533 fsb. The board unoffically supports ddr400 (they have a recommended ddr400 memory list) My thing is would it be safe enough and stable enough for me to just go and install DDR433 memory instead? Anandtech did a review on that board and it held up pretty well at ddr400 at 416/422mhz with 3 rimms. So i'm just curious if there would be any long term problems/stability issues using ddr433 at 200 clock or higher on the board (I am not going to overclock the processor i just want the extra bandwidth). I checked corsairs website and it saids that they've test 3 dimms of ddr433 on the gigabtye 8sg667 with no problems

There seems to be a lot of mix reports about corsair xms line of memory having problems with sis chipsets. And i was thinking of purchasing cosair pc3500 if it was stable enough for my board. But if there are compatiblity problems between the chipset and the memory then I really don't want to waste my money. Can anyone give me some insight on this?

Thanks

I had an Asus p4s533 mobo with some corsair ram. DDR360 was about the max I could get. I now have an Albatron px845pe mobo and it reaches DDR421 so I would think there was a compatibility issue with Sis chipsets and Corsair ram. If it did get to ddr400, there shouldn't be any long term effects that would be negative and if there was, you would probably have a new motherboard by the time problems would start to occur.
