I have this MOBO  
[http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p\_spec.asp?model=K8N\_Neo4-F&class=mb](http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K8N_Neo4-F&class=mb)

It says that the ram is DDR 400 for it.  
DDR 400 RAM is expensive for some reason, but I keep seeing deals for DDR2-667 ram for half the price. Can this RAM be used on my mother board?

DDR2 != DDR

If you need DDR 400, that’s what you get. [www.crucial.com](http://www.crucial.com) [www.simpletech.com](http://www.simpletech.com) [www.kingston.com](http://www.kingston.com)

DDR 400 is your only option, the price is mostly likely due to the the phasing out of it. And apparently the difficulty to manufacture.

Yeah that’s pretty much what I thought but I was hoping.

And $70 for 1 GB isn’t bad. But I can get 2GB of DDR2 for $80. Maybe I will head to CC.
