Hello there peeps!

Just bought a whole new system from ebuyer...

I bought a MSI K8N Neo4 motherboard and 2 sticks of PNY memory http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products ... uid=100901

Thing is, the memory I got wasnt DDR or 400mhz but what DDR2 and 533 mhz. Would I still be able to use it in this board?

you cannot use DDR 2 on that mobo, you need DDR.
