| 405863 | 2005-11-20 01:30:00 | How big a difference is ddr333 and ddr400, is it noticable? Are ram speeds relative to the cpu speed or fsb? I have a celeron 1.7, with a fsb of 400mhz. Cheers |

| 405865 | 2005-11-20 02:39:00 | If you ran a benchmark program you might notice it but to your eye proberly not. But then you have other things to consider as well such as cas latency and that makes a difference when benchmarking/overclocking. If you have ddr333 you can add another stick of ddr333 or ddr400,if you add the ddr400 it will clock down to the ddr333 speed. Whats better for the normal user is the amount of ram they have not so much as the speed it goes at. So if you had 2 x 512ddr333=1024mb=1gb of ram that would be better then just one stick of 512ddr400 ram. As your programes/windows/games etc will benefit from having more ram to use. Hope that helps,someone will now post and say I am wrong but thats just my 2 cents thrown in and somebody can throw theres in now too. :D |

I have 1.25GB of Corsair RAM and had a spare stick of DDR333 laying around. The minute I installed the DDR333 module my PC would make it past the POST. Give it a try though you may have different results. cheers chiefnz |
