800Mhz RAM for NVIDIA white Macbook

[floaty83]

I just wanted to try and clear the air about this topic. There seems to have been a lot of confusion as to whether or not the 2009 NVIDIA white Macbook can accept DDR2 800Mhz RAM modules.

The answer is yes. I have installed 4GB of Patriot 800Mhz RAM with CAS timing of 5 and it works fine. Here are some screenshots -

Do you have windows installed? If you do then download a program called CPU-Z and see what it says for memory frequency in the memory section. Thanks!

I don't have CPU-Z installed, but I have the NVIDIA nTune performance software installed and it recognizes the 800MHz.
