Re: DDR2 memory speed and voltage?
 The new processor is working
I updated the BIOS before I ordered the new processor (no point ordering a new processor if your motherboard doesn’t work after a failed BIOS update). I also bought this heat sink/fan.
»www.thermaltake.com/product_info···rent_cp=
I am running a Silverstone Grandia GD02 case and it appears to have between 61 and 63 millimeters between the top of the processor and the bottom of the 5.25 drive housing and the above heatsink is one of a very few I found that were likely to fit. At idle the new processor runs 35 degrees C with the fan running less than 900RPM. The old processor ran 38 degrees C at idle with the stock AMD heat sink/fan.
My only complaint with the Thermaltake heat sink is that you must remove the motherboard from the case to change the processor.
6MB level 3 cache should in theory make DDR2 1066 less important. DDR2 800 is working with no problems.
Thanks for the timely replies. I am going to stick with the DDR2 800 for now.
