Hi,

I want to move to a new Intel MB (very cheaply) to take advantage of the PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot, SATA 3Gb, add'l memory slots (for later use), and either a Core 2 Quad or Core 2 Duo CPU.

However, for now I would like to use my old memory, therefore, can I put a pair of ddr2-533 pc2-4300 1gb memory sticks in a MB that lists the memory standard as ddr2 800/667? What about a MB with memory standard as DDR2 1066/800/667?

I realize that it will only run at the slower speed, (533), if it works.

THANKS....
