Worth upgrading PC5300 (667) to PC 6400 (800) RAM?

I bought a new system and it currently has 3 GB of PC 5300 (667) RAM. It is spread across 4 chips - 2x1 GB and 2x512 MB. How much benefit would I see ifI yanked the memory and replaced it with PC6400 (800)? Either 4x1 GB or 2x2GB chips?Themotherboard is an ASUS and the processor is a Quad Core 6600. I also just ordered a Geforce 8800 Ultra OC. My money is pretty well tapped after this but I also want to make sure my RAM will creating a significant bottleneck.Thanks!Worth upgrading PC5300 (667) to PC 6400 (800) RAM?
Not much - but if you're overclocking, the extra mhz in the DDR2 800 RAM will provide some room to work with..''I also want to make sure my RAM will creating a significant bottleneck'' - LOL, is that a typo? Worth upgrading PC5300 (667) to PC 6400 (800) RAM?
LOL! Yeah, I would say typo is an understatement :)Thanks for the input on the RAM
Hmmmm, I would see how well it would perform first. If you have an issue, then you should get it :) Atleast that is what i would do :)
