633485 2008-01-24 05:15:00 I am new to the whole upgrading thing and want to know if i can put faster memory (e.g DDR-SDRAM 400) in a motherboard that says it is made for DDR-SDRAM 266\333.

Appreciate the help

633486 2008-01-24 05:36:00 You maybe able to use it. But it will go down to 333/266 speed.

It wont run at DDR 400 speed.

No probs, thanx :)

It maybe similar to the other PC here actually.

I didnt know it didnt support DDR 400, because I brought it for $70 lol.

And it came as is (no box or anything else but the mobo). It wasnt until I downloaded the manual, I found out.

Its running 2 DDR 400 simms, dual channel. But its only running at 266 fsb (because its only got a 533 fsb CPU).

Altho it can run at 800 (by overclocking).

correct, however the it can be a cheap way to get faster memory timings. they will run slower clock speed but quicker timings ie less latency
