Does anyone know if PC1066 is backwards compatible? Can I put in a P4T-E? Since I am clocking the board with a 1.6a to 533 FSB, I figured it would mesh. I had a choice to buy PC1066 or a P4T533-C and I decided to get the memory first and the board later. I've checked the FAQ and done a search in the forums. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Technically it should be backwards compatable, like DDR is. If it isn't, well I lost all my trust in RDRAM...

Wow, I just answered my own question. I saw the review at Hot Hardware that runs 1066 on a P4T-E and it seems to run faster than the Iwill 533 board that it is up against.

Thanks

Check it out, it is a good read.
