CM2X1024-5400C4Pro Compatibility

[Shuttle User]

I need to add to my RAM which is currently a matched pair of CM2X1024-5400C4Pro units.

 

4-4-4-12

675mhz

1024mb

XMS2-5400

 

I am soon to have a new server so this is temporary so the cheapest solution possible whilst still making the upgrade worthwhile is what I am looking for as I will be giving the PC away in due course to someone who can't affford one.

 

I don't understand if I can mix types when I am having trouble sourcing this original ram and I actually purchased by mistake a matched pair of CM2X1024-6400 units

 

5-5-5-18

800mhz

1024mb

XMS2 6400

 

I am presuming I would not be able to add these but if I swapped them would this be worthwhile?

 

Thanks for any advice please.

 

The PC is a Barebones Shuttle SD37P2 v1 about 3 years old running server 2003 and the replacement I am waiting for needs a non existant bios update to utilize DDR3 so I have to wait on that before upgrading.

You are welcome to try them since you already have the modules but with 4 modules you may be limited to DDR533 MHz.

Thanks for the advice, I was mainly worried I would foul up the PC but if its only a quality drop, I can live with that no problem.

 

I will get some benefits I presume?

Yes that is correct you will be able to have more application open up to a point.
