about pentium d 805 *

FSB of pentium d 805 is 533mhz so ddr2 ram of >533mhz will work as only 533mhz

and ddr2 533mhz ram r slower than ddr 400mhz?

so for d 805, should i opt for a board with ddr 400mhz support?
help...

i never knew that FSB and RAM clocks were related

DDr2 533 Mhz is much faster than than DDR 400, but the previous has much higher latencies as well. If u afford a low latency mem., its gr8

i never knew that FSB and RAM clocks were related

Then u better do some study .. them damm sure are. ..

and ddr2 533mhz ram r slower than ddr 400mhz?

Well .. the cheap one's are . coz they have uber high timings ... at stock with a similar processor , the ddr400 should do better ... but hey ... 100 MBps matter much ???

how much more do lower latencies ram cost?
i can get 512mb ddr2 533mhz @ rs.1750!
how to recognize lower latencies ram ?

Usually there is a sticker on the module.But alternatively u can use s\w like CPU-z etc.
DDR1 modules usually have a rating of 2.5.....

how can i use s/w when i am buying it?
and wht is on the sticker?

I mean that there is a lable on the module that has the info.i.e speed,size,latency etc.

so lower latency of 512 ddr2 533mhz. will be .......

RAM LATENCY
DDR2(low latency) vs DDR (includes names of mems)
Mostly, Corsair and Kingston manufacter these low latency mem modules.

This should help

how much more do lower latencies ram cost?

Well consider this .. normal ddr400 from zion with latencies 3,3,3,6 costs in at about 4600 bucks for 1 GB ... now consider ddr400 OCZ gold edition modules with latencies at 2,3,2,5 which costs in at 10500 for 1 GB .... not much diff. eeh ??

oops!
does intel 945 mobo supports > 533mhz ddr2 ram?

Consider overclocking by increasing the FSB.
PD805 overclocks easy.

PD805 is the current oc king .. upto 3.8 -3.9 on air .. and 4.2 -4.4 on water ..

also intel 945 chipset does support ddr2 667 ...
