Can the Abit IP-95 motherboard support DDRII 800 memory?
http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.
under "Manufacturer specifications" to the left, it lists in there PC2-6400(ddr2 800). But when I look on Abit's site for it,it only shows it compatible up to ddr2 533. Which is true? Does anybody have any hard evidence that it can support ddr2 800? I want to be able to overlock my memory. Thanks!
Answers:
The 3-digit numbers, 800/533, are the speed of the memory in MHz. On Abit's website is says it requires DDR2 533. 533MHz is the minimum RAM speed you can run on this motherboard. Generally motherboards can support higher speed RAM than what is advertised. The site doesn't say "up to", so you should be able to run higher speed ram on the motherboard.
You are looking at the wrong part of that screen. In the center you see the box for the mobo. It says the DDR2 speccs out at PC2-4200 which is 533MHz. I looked at several sources and it ALL says PC2-4200
I know with ASUS you can view a guide that shows supported memory modules. It will also say the same thing in the manual when you purchase it. But to answer your question it shows that it supports 533MHz.
