MSI 915P-combo F\FR

Hi there...

i recently bought a pair of 1GB Value Select 667MHz memory kit.

i pluged them in my ddr2 slots and they work, but i think not at max speed that my MB supports (533).

 

i think it works @ 333MHz. could it be possible? if it could, then why is that?

thanks. :)

You will need to look at your bios and see if the bios allows you to increase the memory speed.

DDR2 667 memory would run at 333 MHz IE 333 X 2= DDR667!

Actually, the Intel 915P chipset is officially limited to a maximum of DDR2-533 (PC2-4200) speed. And with your motherboard you cannot select "333MHz" if you're using DDR2 memory: That setting is only available if you're using DDR1 memory on that motherboard (in this case, it's DDR333/PC2700 speed).

 

The truth is, you can use the VS2GBKIT667D2 kit on your motherboard -- but that memory will only run at the maximum speed that your motherboard's chipset officially supports (in this case, a BIOS-labeled "533MHz"). And that particular motherboard has only two distinct manual memory speed settings, so you cannot fine-tune the memory clock speed.
