pc2100 + pc2700 can it work??

[anuraag_01]

i have one 256mb pc2700 DDRSDRAM with one vacant slot. can i add another 256megs of pc2100 DDR?? will it have any problems??

 

[shwetanshu]

It wont have any probs, although the 2nd RAM will work at 266MHz only unlike PC 2700 which worx at 333MHz

 

[akshayt]

why would you add slower ram?

It'll work.

In btw, why r u degrading when u already have a pc2700? At least take the similar one (if ur pocket allows only )

Well i have read about this. There will be no problem to work but it wil work at the speed of only the "SLOWER RAM"

well i had a problem when i installed 2 diff frequency ram sticks.....and as far as i searched over the net i have found that it will work but will be having problems.unstability will be the issue

 

[sumitava_b]

What is the benefit then of having two ram when ultimately ur sys performance is getting unstable? Better not to have two ram with diff freq, u will agree for sure.

it'll work without probs but u'll have to set freqs esp CAS latency manually from ur BIOS.. 133x2 and 2.5 resp
