I am wondering I have a P4 running at 533mhz FSB and have a board that will go up to a 800mhz FSB and processor support. I just bought some 400mhz memory and I am assuming that I will not get true 400 speed from it until I put a new 800mhz processor in correct? Sandra says my memory is only at the 333mhz currently. Too things will it hurt my new PC3200 to be clocked down and run at a lower speed while I currently run a 533mhz processor? Also if it is ok to keep the faster memory in the system clocked down then if I were to put my old stick of PC2700 back in along with the PC3200 would there be an issue with frequency? Would all run at 333 speed and work fine together? I just dont want to mess up my PC3200 because I plan to get a 800mhz processor in the next few months. thanks
Summary: The difference is that normal ddr ram goes as fast as 400MHz (real 200MHz) and your ddr2 ram is build for up to 800MHz (real 400MHz). The others are right that you should run your ram in sync with th...
Summary: i've got a gigabyte GA-8IK1100 (rev. 2.0) mobo, 1gig (2x512mb) PC3200 Kingston ram, and an intel P4 3.2ghz processor. I'm curious because i've got the mobo set to automatically adjust the ram frequenc...
