I picked up a DFI LANPARTY UT NF590 SLI-M2R/G for cheap ($125 with a friends dis.) and have a couple sticks of GeIL DDR2 1000 RAM (2 X 1G).

The specs for the board indicate that it will support upto DDR2 800.
My question is, will the DDR2 1000 work?
I know that people have OC'd DDR2 800 to over 1200 with this board.



I'm assuming that it's just like DDR 500 and I simply need to up the settings to make it run at the faster speed.
Anyone?

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I don't see why that wouldn't work.

[DavARei]

That's what I was hoping ... I got the RAM from a scavenged pile of parts at my friends house.
So, worst case, it was free.

For this price its worthy to try

If the ram is good It will work just fine,its just a lil better than what U need,it can probably be OC'ed if need be

I'm gonna put it in there with that 6000+ that I picked up with the price drop.
So now, I just need to find a good read on OC'ing DDR2.
............. I'm good with DDR, but haven't read up on the differences ......

Anyone got a good link?
Or a simple explanation of the difference? I've OC'd DDR plenty.
I know it's all in what the RAM speed is tied to ~ FSB vs. ??
Is there a RAM multi?
......K I also need to dig around in the DFI BIOS. There's waaaaaaaaaaay more in there than ASUS ever included.
I think.

I don't know about Asus, but my 2 years old MSI RS480M2-IL had so little options it made it look like it had no BIOS at all compared to my DFI Infinity nF4 SLi. Can't even imagine a Lanparty board.

[DavARei]

I've been looking at some threads on their BIOS ...

With a little luck, I'll either find a good map or a reasonable translator!
It looks to provide a good mix of ~ ~ all into one!

But I do like to have options!
And it'll have 'em.

yes it will, I have the lanparty ultra D for amd 939 an it is a jungle in the bios. lol.
