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)

    • This is what GPOs are for, assuming they work for this. But for AD/Entra machines this should be opt in imo

    • LibreWolf 139.0.4-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. Notes: To receive automatic updates, you may refer to the unofficial LibreWolf-WinUpdater that employs a scheduled task to accomplish the same.
