using DDR400 in a max of DDR266

Can it be done? I asume it will either not work or it will just run @ 266 correct i asuume the last one, but i have no idea.

Answered in the VFAQ, Ram 101

all I found was" I Mix Between Memory Speeds?

There are some motherboards that are really finicky with their memory however in general if you mix two (compatible) memory modules (or more) they will all run at the speed of the slowest module so you'll be ok.

"

Im pretty sure that refers to have like one DDR400 and DDR266 so they would run at DDR266 right?, my question is what if the motherbored can only handle DDr266 and you put in like DDR400? iis that in there? if it is I missed it......



Also I like how on the FAQ everything is spelled right and grammer is good, exept for "ok" instead of okay. not like it matters, I dont right correctly at all. just thought it was kind of funny.

Installing a DDR400 stick by itself into a DDR266 slot is like mixing a DDR400 stick with a DDR266 stick except its not there so um... uh... "yes'



Get over it.

thanks for the help. I'm over it it was just a ovboisvation(see lol i dont even spell that.)

Heehee glad to help: do be aware that some motherboards ARE stupid and finicky and wont work with the faster RAM even though it should (ive only encountered one or two) ... for the most part you should be ok
