The Guy Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Hi, I was wondering if I'm running a P4 2.4ghz northwood (400mhz fsb) on my newly bought MSI 865PE Neo2-LS board, could I run PC3200 ram, or PC3700? I'm getting mixed signals because from the MSI website ( [url]http://www.msicomputer.com/product/detail_spec/product_detail.asp?model=865PE_Neo2-LS[/url] ), it says "In order to use DDR 400, FSB 800 CPU is required", but from the Corsair website, it says that I am capable of using TWINX 3200+ with no problems. :confused: And my follow-up question would be if I can't use PC3200 ram with my northwood, then should I invest a little more a purchase a chip with 800fsb or stick with what I have and buy PC2700 ram instead? Thanx from the replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted February 5, 2004 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 5, 2004 Probably you will have to run the memory at DDR266. If the FSB of your CPU is 400 For Intel and 100 MHz for AMD, the memory speed supports only DDR 266. If the FSB of your CPU is 533 For Intel and 133/166 MHz for AMD, the memory speed supports DDR 266/333 If the FSB of your CPU is 800 MHz for Intel and 200 MHz for AMD, the memory speed supports DDR 333/400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
