Has anyone tried installing 800mhz ram into a 24" imac?

[Dartamis]

I just picked up a brand new 24" imac and a ram upgrade is in the near future. I'm going to get 4 gigs but I want to know if anyone has tried to put in 800Mhz instead of the normal 667 that it tells you to put in. If so, then how were the results?


Thanks

They don't make em yet

If it is like all other Apple computer before, the 800MHz ram would simply clock down to 667MHz. It would work but you get no speed boost.

You sure about that?

It'll only run at 667. The front side bus is at 800, but the memory controller thingamabob is at 667 and won't go higher for your RAM.

Those are DIMMS. iMacs take SODIMMS.

I don't know if santa Rosa supports 800mhz ram or not something to look into.

Thats more like it. Doubt it will go above 667MHz but you're always welcome to try.
