I believe that the MB will time it to the DDR-266.  I doubt it will  
run some at DDR-400 speeds and some at DDR-266 speeds.

Yes, if you make sure that both DIMMs accept the same voltage range.

The memory should work at DDR-266 speeds, but you may need to back  
off the memory timings (ie, go to CAS-3) for the system to be  
stable.  For example, I have one system which was using a 512MB  
PC2700 (DDR-266?) DIMM, and I added a 1GB PC3500 DIMM.  It would work  
fine at PC2100 (DDR-233), and almost work fine at PC2700-- but would  
generate a memtest error every few hours.


almost stable isn't good enough.  Since the system ran faster using  
just the 1GB stick at full speed, rather than trying to combine both,  
I've moved the 512MB stick elsewhere.


If you do combine memory of different speeds, be sure to test the  
combination out overnight using memtest or some similar utility.

P4B533 vs DDR Ram 400 MHz

2005-06-03 Thread Supote Leelasupphakorn

Hi, lists

 I own the Asus P4B533 mainboard for a year and it is using DDR-266 MHz.
I want to add more memory with DDR-400 MHz. Have any one had experience
on this situation.

  What I would like to know is Is there any problem if I will use DDR-400 
MHz

with mainboard Asus P4B533. Any comment is welcome.

TIA,
Pjn

If I read specifications at the end of
http://usa.asus.com/mb/socket478/p4b533/overview.htm correctly, this
motherboard does not support DDR-400 (PC3200) memory.

Hi,

  Yes, it's so if you refer to Asus official website. But today I've just 
added

such memory into a P4B533 box at my office. It can bootup and has no
problem today so I think that I can't totally believe its document on
Asus's web site - Must give them a try.

  But I want to know that is there any issue in the LONG
TERM.

TIA

Apart from it not being supported by Asus ?

Considering the fact that DDR-400 will simply run on a lower frequency
and possibly not quite-so-good performance as you would expect from a
DDR-400 stick, I don't expect any problems.

It's backwards compatible.

Hi all

  What if I using both of them together ? I mean using both
DDR-266 and DDR-400 at the same time. Can I ?
