ram for e8400?

[j0j081]

What memory is best with a new e8400 build? DDR2 800 is perfect for my e6750 at 3.2 ghz but does the e8400 benefit from something faster? Someone I know is about to do his first build, not sure if he'll be overclocking or not to begin with but would be nice if he has the option. Thanks.

the E8400 has a 1333FSB right? if so then going for higher speed DDR 1066 will definately boost performance... not by that much though so if you have the extra cash then go ahead and upgrade your memory too

LoL...
PC2-6400 (800MHz) is more than enough for your 1333MHz CPU. :laugh:

went with 1066.
