Yes, but if the motherboard only supports 400mhz FSB, it doesnt matter how high your
RAM is rated, it will only perform at 400Mhz...

I was using that as an example ... fill out your system specs and maybe we can find out...

"Supports PC 4200 (533 MHz) and PC2 5300 (667 MHz) DDR2 DIMMs" ~ source.

I have 4 slots for memory.

Product number: RQ454AA ~ that's what it says on the HP website, it's a Compaq Presario SR5060AN
Motherboard name: ASUS A8M2N-LA

Well, that was certainly a bit of back and forth- to come to this consensus - buy 4GB of the PC5300 RAM (667 MHz). Use the left over AUD to get a 4GB thumb drive.

I can get 8gb for $100, should I just get 8?
