You will have to very carefully check the specs of your MB, its Bus and bios options and the actual memory.
Memory gets refreshed lots more times than it gets read and/or written in the order of 4 clock cycles being used for refresh, to 1 for a read - I found I had been sold 133 rated memory as '100 - which was causing occasional problems (presumably downgraded due to production batch testing problems) I assume that at 100 it was not getting the refresh cycles fast enough, as changing the bus speed from 100 to 133 stopped the memory problems. It may be worth contacting a specialist memory supply company, detailing your existing MB, CPU, Memory, type and speed/frequency settings as well as those set in your BIOS, and asking them for a price on the memory modules that would give you the fastest, and the fastest reliable, throughput on your system, and with OS of XP (whatever) - how much memory should you install, and what would be the approximate difference in throughput between their 'best option' and simply adding in a further 512, or 1024Mb of memory matching that which you already have installed Then - Buy from them - as they will have advised you as to the benefits, and that advice will have formed part of the sales contract JimB. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kylde" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, May 09, 2005 3:58 PM Subject: ram speed > Is there any gain or loss in me buying ddr400 ram when my processor/fsb > is 333? > -- > Regards > > Kylde > > -- > ---------------------------------------- > WIN-HOME Archives: http://PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM/archives/WIN-HOME.html > Contact the List Owner about problems: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Unofficial Win-Home List Members Profiles Page > http://winhome.wavijo.com/ > > -- ---------------------------------------- WIN-HOME Archives: http://PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM/archives/WIN-HOME.html Contact the List Owner about problems: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unofficial Win-Home List Members Profiles Page http://winhome.wavijo.com/
