Can i mix DDR 333 and DDR 400Mhz


Recommended Posts

Can i mix those 2 types of memory, one @ 333Mhz and one @ 400Mhz

I already have a 400Mhz but a friend is selling 512 @ 333Mhz for really cheap, i tried them and my PC kept beeping and didnt turn on, but maybe if i put the 333MMhz one first and in the second slot the 400Mhz one????

Or is just not possible....???

Thanks.!

Hmm, tough call. I suppose you could add it in, run it at 333Mhz and attempt to overclock it to like 360Mhz if the 333Mhz memory allows it. Just a suggestion.

Yes... the 400MHz RAM will step itself down to 333MHz, however, if your CPU is designed to run at 400MHz, you will not be using the full power of your CPU and you will notice a slight decrease in performance... and IMHO ... not even worth it.

hmmm, i like that idea.....

Never overclock anything on my life, i think is time to read the nice guides some people have put online, thanks....

My Motherboard has a limitation, It has 3 Ram slots, but it will only run the ram at 400Mhz if I only use 1 stick.

If I add 2 sticks or 3 it will run them at 333mhz max even if all the ram I use are 400mhz, My question is, I only have 512MB ram running at 400Mhz, is it worth adding another 512 stick to get 1GB but loseing in speed with both sticks only running at 333mhz.

(I know I didnt explain it well, its hard lol) Of course another options is to just buy 1 stick of 1GB Ram if they sell that at the speed i want?? (ive never looked so i dont know)

    • Is this like tailscale?
    • I had no idea you could do this, thanks for the heads up!
    • Bonkers, really, when you think about the resources at Meta’s disposal.
    • You can now use Gemini in Google Forms to summarize responses by David Uzondu Over the last few months, Google has been aggressively pushing its Gemini AI into every corner of its Workspace apps, like generating entire documents from a prompt in Google Docs or creating fully editable charts in Sheets. Now, the company has set its sights on Google Forms. The latest update introduces a feature that uses Gemini to summarize text-based responses automatically. For any form with short-answer or paragraph questions, a new "Summarize responses" button will appear in the Responses tab once you collect more than three entries. Clicking it prompts Gemini to read the form's title, questions, and all the submitted text to spit out a summary of the key themes. Though Google bills this as a fresh expansion into Forms, we have actually had some Gemini intelligence in the app for a bit through the "Help me create a form" button. That feature, which drafts questions for you, was rolled out through the company's Workspace Labs program. For those unaware, Workspace Labs is basically Google's public testing ground, available in select countries, for new, and sometimes unproven, AI tools before a general release. Once a summary is generated, you can copy it to use elsewhere or hit "Retry" to see if Gemini comes up with a different take. If new responses roll in after you have generated a summary, you can click a "Refresh" button to update it with the latest data. For now, this feature is only available in English, and to use it, you'll need access to a paid Google Workspace plan, such as Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Standard, or Enterprise Plus. It is also available to customers who pay for the Google AI Pro and Ultra plans or specific Gemini Education add-ons. The feature has started rolling out gradually, for Rapid Release domains, and will begin rolling out for Scheduled Release domains on June 26.
