RAM help

[championz]

Hi everyone and thanks for looking, i just been given a Asus Striker Extreme II, and i have a Core 2 Duo E6850 (3.00GHz,1333FSB,L2:4MB,rev.G0), but i have no DDR3 ram, but my confusion is that does the speed of the ram have to match the processor i.e. the 1333FSB, sorry if its a stupid question? thanks

It shouldn't matter, you can use any RAM speed up to the speed of the processor if the mobo supports it. The faster the RAM speed the better though.

so can i use a ram speed of 1600?

i thought the striker extreme II would only use ddr3? i can most definitely be wrong.

Yes the Striker Extreme II only supports DDR3.

If your board supports 1600 then yes you can run it
