Alright, I wanted to do a ram upgrade on my laptop so I went to crucial and did a scan, the scan showed me the correct ram that was in there, DDR2 667 but suggested me DDR2 800 as an upgrade. I later found out that my laptop only actually supports DDR2 667, but I had already bought the OCZ DDR2 800 and installed it. It works just fine, it recognizes it as DDR2 800 but it's only running at DDR2 667 speed (333mhz).
So my question is, is the downclocked DDR2 800 performing the same as a correct DDR2 667 set would? It's dual channel as well btw. Since it is working fine should I just keep it? I was thinking about RMAing it back to newegg and getting a correct DDR2 667 set of Gskill memory, but is it worth the hassle if it works fine, just downclocked.
