capr Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 dude this is 3 months old and your question doesn't make too much sense. video memory and system memory are different the GPU uses the video memory at much higher speeds than the cpu can use regular memory. if you pay attention to your video card it's not ddr3 memory it's gddr the g is for graphics.

+PeterUK MVC Posted November 18, 2008 MVC Share Posted November 18, 2008 So, does DDR2 800 and DDR2 1066 have the same compatability with GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB? DDR2 RAM has nothing to do with your Graphics Card. Welcome to Neowin. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason S. Global Moderator Posted November 18, 2008 Global Moderator Share Posted November 18, 2008 well, to answer your question - your RAM is independent of the video card. 1066MHz ram still wont provide much increase in performance over 800MHz ram. the benefit is when you overclock your cpu... 1066MHz memory provides more breathing room.

Does overclocking void the warranty, and is that worth it? you can post a new topic... I didn't think about it. I just saw that this was relating to what I was curious about. Building a PC has a lot more involved then I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindovermaster Moderator Posted November 18, 2008 Moderator Share Posted November 18, 2008 Next time, look at the date, please. Overclocking does not void warranty. A safe overclock will not harm your computer. It's worth it, Most of us on these forums Overclock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason S. Global Moderator Posted November 18, 2008 Global Moderator Share Posted November 18, 2008 i think overclocking voids most warranties, but would be hard to prove if there was a problem (unless you torch a component) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogfin Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 If I posted the specs I'm looking at buying, would you guys be able to tell me if it all works/makes sense together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindovermaster Moderator Posted November 18, 2008 Moderator Share Posted November 18, 2008 Yes, but create a new thread. You will get more help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Yes, please create a new thread... this topic doesn't really have anything to do with the original topic. Welcome to Neowin! Thread Closed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
