I have an older system having a c2d cpu and an ASrock wolfdale 1333-667 motherboard with 1 gb of ram.I'm interested in upgrading the RAM to improve its performance-however the problem is my mobo officially supports only DDR2 533/667 MHz modules which are rather hard to find in the market these days-most of the retailers i contacted said that they only have 800 mhz DDR2 rams in stock.
I already have a 667 mhz transcend ram in my system,so if i buy another 2 gb DDR2 800 mhz ram from the same manufacturer and install it along with my existing 667 mhz module,will that cause any stability or compatibility issues in the long run?Is it safe to use 800 mhz modules on motherboards that don't support memories with speeds above 667 mhz?Can mixing ram modules of 2 types(667+800 mhz)on my system possibly have any detrimental effects on the motherboard or ram itself?
