Yes, but try to get Ram that matches your CPU Speed

[sxc_ant]

im gettin a 2500+ barton which is 333


would it make alot of diffrence in speed?

You will most definitly want to put at least 2700 ram in that system, if not you will be underclocking the system, no point to buying a decent cpu and then underclocking it, by using slower ram.

Ahhh, I think the multiplier is set at 11, so 11*133 = 1463
where as if you use 2700, then 11*166 = 1826.

So that will be about the difference in speed.
Think about getting the 2700 ram.

or get pc3200 ram instead of the pc2700 as its usually not much more and it will let ou overclock later on if you'd like to.
