ram standard and overclocking?

[Akhen]

I recently got a good deal on a Asus P5WD2 Premium with the 955X chipset, I currently have a ECS PF21 Extreme with 925X chipset paired with 2x1GB ddr2 533 for overclocking.ll

It does pretty well of itself but would it be advisable to get the Asus P5WD2 Premium even tough its ddr2 standard is ddr2 800 and I would be using my current ram for overclocking?

The ASUS board will probably perform better and overclock better than the ECS one. ASUS has much better manufacturing standards and uses higher-grade components than the ones used by lower-end manufacturers like ECS, so you have a better chance at getting a higher clock.
