I've yet to see a kit of DDR2-800 that didn't have an SPD (auto settings) for DDR2-667 - so you should be good to go

Oh man... I wish you hadn't said that. Now I am about to spend 85 dollars! Thanks alot!!!


(just kidding, thanks for the info)
Do I have to have 64 bit windows to get the full use of the memory?

Yes.

but even with 32bit you get 3-3.5gigs available - IIRC it depends on how much video memory you have - I know I get 3.5gig avail and others get 3.25
