Perfesser Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 I think all RAM will run at the speed of the slowest stick but don't quote me on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman Posted April 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 So, in this case, would 1gig + 256MB (1.256approx) running at PC2700 333mhz be better or worse than just 1gig running at PC3200 400mhz? The MOBO in question (ASUS A7V8X) says it uses DDR PC3200 400mhz, but only in one slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falconise Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Lawls! Actually, you could possibly run the pc2700 at pc3200 speed, but only if it is capable of it and you'd have to manually set the speed in the BIOS, and test it with memtest to be sure it is stable, then again in the OS with Orthos or Prime95. Have a look at the @Falconise - Overclocking advice thread for info on how to test the ram. http://www.dangerdogz.com/forums/index.php/topic,7236.0.html You will have to test the 256mb stick first by itself. If it passes, then add the 1gb stick in the first slot and move the 256mb stick into the second slot. Ram is almost always capable of running one speed grade higher than it's rated speed. They do this because they have to build in some overhead into it, so that it will run in just about any system. Most PC2700 ram I have encountered has easily run at PC3200 DDR400 speed, and sometimes even faster than a few PC3200 sticks have been able to do. There was some good stuff back in those days, that was sold as slower ram. If you run into any problems, I would have to know the mobo and cpu make and model to look into it. Also... Are you certain the 1gb stick stick is running at DDR400 pc3200? Any reason why you'd not run the 512mb stick with the 1gb stick? It's just that if the 256mb stick cannot handle DDR400, then perhaps the 512mb stick will. I would stick with the single 1Gb personally.

Fireman Posted April 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 the reason why is that the 512 dimm failed the memtest (which is why it was removed and replaced by a new 1 gig dimm) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
