Will 5400 work?

I just bought some DDR2 PC 5400 RAM, but I forgot to check what my motherboard supported. It says on the HP website that it supports PC 3200, PC 5300, and PC 6400. Will the 5400 still work in my pc?

The model number of the HP would help here. But the mention of PC3200 states 184pin DDR memory not 240pin DDR2 memory. Some boards support both types namely both DDR and DDR2 memory but the specifications are what to look over closely.

The HP specifications page show strictly DDR2 memory as seen at http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...3&lang=en#N362

Memory

Four 240-pin DDR2 DIMM sockets
Supports PC2 4200 (533 MHz), PC 5300 (667 MHz) and PC2 6400 (800 MHz) DDR2 DIMMs
Maximum HP/Compaq approved memory is 8 GB*

This model board won't be found in the products section at Asus since they are made more specifically for HP. The memory you bought should still work since it's still 240pin DDR2 667mhz memory.

Tiger had a good price on a 1gb set of Corsair xms series 5400s for a budget build with 4-4-4-6 for the timings there. But that's performance memory. You didn't mention whether or not you had performance or value ram there.

Ok I currently have 1gb in the computer that came with it. It's PC2-4300. But for some reason it's only running at 266 Mhz.So would this slow down the Corsair even more? Is there anyway to bump these up higher than 266? Or should I just get rid of memory that came with the computer?

It is, or you could have spent $25 more and gotten 2GB
