Can anyone tell me what the difference will be, and more imortantly, how MUCH a difference I will ACTUALLY notice, between having 667mhz RAM or 800mhz?

thanks

From what I've read, I don't believe you will notice much difference between the two speeds unless they have the same latencies. But usually the faster speed RAM has slow enough latencies that it cancels out the speed advantage.

When I was building my computer, I was having the same thoughts. I recommend reading this wikipedia article:
