depends.

mhz, is how fast the ram processes data. (read/write)

if your computer's fsb is only 667mhz, there is no point having a 768mhz (fake no.) as the ram's top speed will still be 667mhz

but must comply with the limit also rite?

if im nt wrong, if mobo says can only support up to, e.g. 4gb ddr2 ram @667 then the max speed u put in must be 667?

or is it possible to insert a 800mhz and the mobo will scale it down to 667?

Yes. The RAM clockspeed can become lower to accommodate these kind of things. However, they can't go higher.

If you are not using a 64-bit OS, 4Gb is useless. You might as well just get 3 GB and save some money.

Oh Yeah, a question on RAM but totally different type.

If my CPU has a 1066MHz FSB and I have 800MHz RAM, it doesn't mean that my FSB is reduced right? And what happens if I increase the FSB (eg. to 1333MHz). Will my RAM become damaged?

option no2.

it will scale down, from 800mhz to the max of 667mhz.

analogy of a car lor, your top speed 500km

but road allows you to go max 100km

got my 2gb ram n installed it successfully =)
