    Hey people.

    I need some help. Is the 800 worht spending the money or should stick to getting 667? i'm going to get 4gb but there is a small difference in price. Will it be noticable?

    Current CPU chipsets don't fully provide the maximum 800MHz. It's worth the price difference if your PC will upgrade to a chipset supporting the 800Mhz.

    As said, you cannot use 800MHz ram on laptops. If you do put that ram in, it will downclock to 667MHz, so it's really pointless to spend extra money for the faster ram when it will just downclock.
