patfish Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Why expancive highspeed Ram if i have to run them in DDR333 mode and whit low timings? I have 2GB of xms3500LLPro and i like to upgrade them to 4GB. But make it sense to bye 2GB of ( XMS3200CL2 (215€)) if i have to sett them all to DD333 and low timings? How much performance will i loose if i upgrade my system to 4GB and set my DDR419 2-3-2-6 settings to DD333 and low timings??? (in %) what if i bye 4 *1024MB of cheep CL3 modules (4*40€ = 160€) and run them with DDR400 and CL3 timigs? would there be great difference between the cheep and the expencive solution? thx for all pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 It is not recommended to mix memory types. You need to EXACTLY match your current memory when adding to a dual channel system. Also, your MOBO and CPU should be able to run 4 DIMMs at DDR400 so you will not need to slow down to DDR333. Also, if you do not have a 64 bit OS, then your system will not be able to fully utilize the 4gb of memory. Do you have a 32 bit OS or a 64 bit OS?

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 13, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 13, 2007 I would suggest just waiting until you upgrade to a new MB or look for someone that might have a set they want to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
