Hi, I am going to buy new 2GB DDR2 RAM for my Desktop PC as Installed Windows 8 x64 bit.
Previously I have the 2GB RAM of brand namely Dynet which is DDR PC2-5300 and clocking at 667MHz on MotherBoard INTEL DG41RQ .
Now i want to buy new 2GB DDR2 RAM so which should i go for? The which one clocking at same speed that is 667MHz or should i go for 800MHz one??
As I am confuse still I am planing to buy this RAM Transcend DDR2 2 GB PC RAM (JM667QLU-2G) | Ram | Flipkart.com

Hi,

Please note any DDR-II RAM will run together but the frequency in which they will work in depend on the lowest running frequency among the both.

For example, you may buy 800 MHz 2GB, it will run fine along side of your present running 667MHz but it will work at 667MHz along with your present RAM.

Get the one at same clock speed so avoid any further tensions. :p
