533 or 400?

intel 915 chipset supporting DDR1 RAM . but it sure supports DDR2

What are u talking ??

May be u missed this, *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=60930

oops.. my bad! put the DDRs ohter way. but does the board support both DDR1 and DDR2? i had a mercury board which supported both SDRAM and DDR. dunno about this.

 

[Choto Cheeta]

There are boards which support both DDR and DDR-II but none of the Intel Original 915 based boards had that option !!!

y dont u guys just read the mobo manual

it clearly says which ram speeds it can support

Some time Manual which comes with Branded PC is not quite good to provide such information rather gives graphical images of how to install Drivers and stuff like that

Hi all....

neither 400 nor 533......i got a 667 MHz one....
i am running both the earlier 400MHz one along with the 667MHz one....
everything seems to be fine....

wouldnt there be any problem with wat i am using now???

hello....

hey !!!

u should not run a 533 / 667 MHz ram with another 400 MHz RAM.... they are not (533 or present available 667 MHz 240pin DDR-II) designed to go that low...

run only that 667 MHz RAM...

u may end up with a burned ram module

!!!!

but everything is working fine....
even the vendor told it wouldnt give a problem.....

................
i think the 400Mz one is running in its own clock speed and the other one in its own..... isnt that possible?

No, the 667 MHz is running at Under clocked speed of 400 MHz...

anyway i just suggested you what migh happen, so, its not certain that it will happen, when ur vendor says it will run, then let it be there... run togather.... but if some thing happens, do post back here

thanks......

think its better to remove off the earlier one.... then this one wud run at 533MHz(am i right?) as FSB is 533MHz.....

but its a hard trade off ...i cant see the earlier one simply sitting idle....
