Memory DDRI 333

light · 03-22-2007, 05:24 AM

Hello i am light!!

This is my first thread in your forum...

I have a motherboard that has 4 slots for the memory..

The slots uses dual channell technology...

The first/Third slots are the first channell
The Second/Forth slots are the second channell

I have already put two memory Dimms on first/third slots

The dimms that i put are DDRI333( 166MHz ) 512MB

In order to increase the total memory up to 2GByte it is advisable to
buy another two dimms DDRI at 333( 166MHz ) ( second channell ) or can i buy two dimms at different ( larger ) frequency??

for example >> Dimms at 400MHZ frequency??

The dimms of the two channells must have the same frequency?

If you buy new ones and put them in with the old ones, all modules will run at the slowest frequency, if you buy modules that have a higher frequency than the ones you now have then they will clock their speeds down to 166MHZ.

I would buy a matched set of 1 gig sticks [dual channel] that are on your board's qvl list, and leave it at that.

Speedster is 100% correct. 2 x 1 GB is the best option. BTW, what socket/processor does this board use? You might be better off getting 2 x 1 GB of DDR 400 MHz.
