Memory Upgrade

[Usnatsmm]

I am planning on replacing 667Mhz memory with 800Mhz (Not RDRAM) memory.
OS - Windows Media Center SP3 (x86).
Office 2007 Pro SP1.
Anybody already done it?
Any 'Gotchas' I should look for?
Already having a problem with Outlook Today going blank wondering if I
should plan on an MS/Office reinstall along with memory upgrade.

Thanks

I've never needed to reinstall anything just because I replaced memory on
a system on any operating system.

That said, just make sure you back up any important files you need and be
sure that your motherboard can handle whatever ram you want to put in it.

The outlook today problem is not related to the memory. Detect and repair
might help, or try resetting the folder home page for the root folder.

This isn't an Outlook question. Changing the amount of memory in your PC
cannot affect the view you'll see in any of the programs you run. It
certainly won't affect how Outlook appears, only how well it runs. Make sure
yor BIOS and motherboard support trhe faster memory. Just because the memory
is faster doesn't mean your PC can utilize the enhancement. If the front-side
bus can't handle the higher speed, it will just use the new memory at the
lower speed. Usually increasing the amount of memory will produce a more
salutory effect than will the speed of the chips.
