    I don't know much about ram, but I was to understand that the FSB speed of your processor could be matched with the ram? SO..... after upgrading my processor from 667mhz to 800mhz, would upgrading from the stock 667 ram to 800 ones give me any significant increases in performance? *huff puff puff*

    I've found some ocz 800mhz ram for 65 dollars, SHOULD I GO FOR IT GUISE?!

    nope

    I am running low latency RAM and it doesn't do anything. Its basically a waste of money. It will look cooler when you pull up your rigs "guts" but unless its worth 65 dollars to you to look cool then don't worry with it.

    Plus the RAM will down clock to 667mHz anyways so all your doing is getting a lower latency.

    EDIT:
    I just noticed i have two little green blocks now. yay :p
