That 800 number is the speed of DDR2 memory in MHz. Yes, you match it up to the motherboard's speed rating specifications.
The PC2-6400 number represents the bandwidth, and it is how most manufacturers advertise their DDR2 (and DDR or DDR3). In my opinion it makes you remember an extra bit of information just to recognize the speed.
Some examples:
PC2-5400 is 667 MHz
PC2-6400 is 800 MHz
PC2-8500 is 1066 MHz
PC-3200 is 400 MHz DDR
PC3-10666 is 1333MHz DDR3 |
