Cygnuz-Y Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 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.! Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/250595-can-i-mix-ddr-333-and-ddr-400mhz/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
allfive6 Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 you should be able to but it will run at 333 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/250595-can-i-mix-ddr-333-and-ddr-400mhz/#findComment-585009351 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnuz-Y Posted November 29, 2004 Author Share Posted November 29, 2004 I know that, but will the 400Mhz one run @ 333Mhz Too??? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/250595-can-i-mix-ddr-333-and-ddr-400mhz/#findComment-585009360 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvcduty Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 You should be able to. But they will run at the slower speeds. It is recommended that you use same speed ram though. edit: yes. 400mhz will step down to 333mhz Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/250595-can-i-mix-ddr-333-and-ddr-400mhz/#findComment-585009362 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnuz-Y Posted November 29, 2004 Author Share Posted November 29, 2004 It comes down>>> Is it worth it?, he is giving me 512 DDR @ $15 for his weed....

insanekiwi Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 the 400 will run at 333 aswell. so you have 2x 333mhz. edit: nobody wants to knwo about your lame drug life :rolleyes: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/250595-can-i-mix-ddr-333-and-ddr-400mhz/#findComment-585009374 Share on other sites More sharing options...

FSB400MHz.... 585009396[/snapback] 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.

DWk Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Yea, but your CPU is 333....unless you overclock it isn't running at 400 ;) Get the RAM, the computer will be better that way :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/250595-can-i-mix-ddr-333-and-ddr-400mhz/#findComment-585009412 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRmpls Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 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.

stncttr908 Veteran Posted November 29, 2004 Veteran Share Posted November 29, 2004 Personally I wouldn't buy it at all. If you're really his friend you'd stop him from being such a pathetic waste of life and stop taking advantage of his weakness.

Vice Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 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) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/250595-can-i-mix-ddr-333-and-ddr-400mhz/#findComment-585009445 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWk Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Yea it's worth it..... you won't be running dual channel anyway, so you'll take advantage of the 1gig alright :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/250595-can-i-mix-ddr-333-and-ddr-400mhz/#findComment-585009452 Share on other sites More sharing options...
qinwarrior Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 It'll slow down your computer performing if you mix RAM. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/250595-can-i-mix-ddr-333-and-ddr-400mhz/#findComment-585009454 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWk Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 It won't slow anything down if your CPU runs at the same speed you would run.... in fact, you would see better performance because you will be getting more RAM at the speed it's supposed to run ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/250595-can-i-mix-ddr-333-and-ddr-400mhz/#findComment-585009456 Share on other sites More sharing options...
