Default Core2Duo - Any need for 800Mhz RAM?

Is there any advantage to purchasing 800Mhz RAM for a DP965LT motherboard with
an E6600 processor?

I'm being advised that 533 MHZ is all I need if I'm not overclocking. I'm a pro
photographer who uses Photoshop extensively and am willing to pay for faster RAM
if it indeed offers any advantage. Does it?

Also, would 800 MHZ RAM be more useful in the near future when FSB speeds
increase to 1333MHz FSB (Bearlake).

Thanks

Russell

Match the top speed of the mobo.



So, if the board has a 1066 Mhz FSB then 2x 533 Mhz RAM in dual channel mode
meets the spec and any more would be wasted. Thanks :-)
