334040 2005-03-14 22:32:00 I have 1 empty slot with a maximum of 2 slots. My current ram is in slot #2 and it's 2100/266mhz ddr ram. My pc's speed is 2400mhz/533mhz.

What kind of ram should I buy?, should i buy 3200/400mhz ? that seems to be the fastest one but I read an amateur site saying that if i have 1 ram that's 266mhz and 1 ram that's 400mhz, both of them will operate at 266mhz. Is this true? or if i add the 400mhz one, it will run at 400mhz?

334041 2005-03-14 22:36:00 Yes they will run at the slowest speed.
However DDR 400 is cheaper than DDR266 now so it doesn't really matter.

334042 2005-03-14 22:50:00 wait, will 1 run at 266, and the other at 400? or both of them will run at 266 :[ cowhornz (7590)
334043 2005-03-14 22:54:00 Both will run at the slowest speed, exactly as stated by pctek.

The slowest speed is 266.

Both will run at 266.

They cannot run at different speeds.

334044 2005-03-15 03:56:00 is there a difference between ddr sdram dimm and ddr dimm ram? or are they the same cowhornz (7590)
334045 2005-03-15 04:03:00 oh and um if i buy 2 ddr 333 (pc 2700), does that mean the total is 666mhz and it will be the best for my 2400mhz/533 mhz front bus side machine? cowhornz (7590)
