    Technically the 6860 "can" run 8GB of CL4 DDR2 800mHz RAM which would downclock to somewhere around a 4-4-3-9 at 667mHz, but that would largely be a waste of money. :p

    Just get any 4GB kit that comes from someone with a good warrenty. RAM isnt really ever going to make a big difference to your system.

    My 4-4-4-12 ram might give my system 0.1% more power than the standard 5-5-5-15 ram :rolleyes: Waste of 109 dollar is what it was
