I remember reading the article on some pc hardware site...

One more thing is that the mobo must support a FSB of 800mhz or more for the ram to operate at 800mhz else the 800mhz ram will operate at 667mhz if the max. FSB is 667mhz !

So Just choose a memory module with the same clock rate as the FSB of the CPU.
