I have a 2008 Blackbook. C2D 2.4Ghz. I upgraded to 4GB of ram a while back and I think I may be limiting myself now that I read more. I was that the blackbook can actually take 6GB and use it fully. But I also just looked at my profiler. The ram I purchased was as follows


BANK 0/DIMM0:
Size: 2 GB
Type: DDR2 SDRAM
Speed: 667 MHz
Status: OK

BANK 1/DIMM1:
Size: 2 GB
Type: DDR2 SDRAM
Speed: 667 MHz
Status: OK



But now that I fully look at my system profile it says this:

Bus Speed: 800 MHz


So should I have gotten the PC6400 ram vs the PC5300? and If I was going to upgrade to a 6GB confuguration should I just get the PC6400?

Through both Crucial and OWC it says that I would get the PC5300 according to their conigurator.

I just want the fastest and most ram this machine can handle. Any help would be great appreciated.

BTW: here is the basic overview from system profiler if this helps anyone to help me:
