Can I use PC2-4200 with a M2N-SLI Deluxe?

[BMWlover]

As the title says, I have 2gb of PC2-4200 240 pin ddr2 sdram and want to use it with a M2N-SLI Deluxe until Christmas when I can get 2gb of ddr2 800 ram. Is this possible? Thanks.

Very good thank you. One other question, How much performance difference it there between 2gb of PC2-4200 and 1gb of PC2-6400?

mmmm, depends on the app. some will actually like 2gb of slower ram a lot more. while average performance (or framerate) will drop, it will be MUCH smoother

but some things will like the 1gb of faster ram more.. but probably not more than a 5% boost from more ram clocks

Great, the system is mainly used for gaming, thanks a lot for your help.

Do you recommend the change for gaming? From what you said I do not think it is worth the 130+ dollar upgrade.
