A Question of RAM

(1/2) > >>

Schmung:
Because I work with PCs all day, my brain falls apart when I get home. My query is simple :

I have an MSI KT3 Ultra 2 mobo. It supports PC2700 and PC2100 DDR RAM (don't laugh). I have the potential to nab a gig of matched pair PC3200 modules. Now obviously they won't run at that speed in mine, but will they run at the same speed as the PC2700 and will I notice any lkoss in performance? Actually, will they work at all, I know they're both 184 pin, but don't know if the 3200 if somehow different.

Help much appreciated, for my brain is now no longer capable of thought.

Inanimate Object:
Well, I'm not entirely sure, but I think you need 2700 or lower to work properly. That may be incorrect, but I know the 3200 RAM runs at a higher clock speed, and that could probably mess up your mobo.

FreshJive787:
does your mobo support dual channel ram?

Kelamin:
I'm reasonably sure that it will work in your mobo, just not at DDR400 speeds. As an idea you could call up a decent pc store and ask them

Se7en:
of course it will work, it will just run it at the best speed it can manage.

The key to socket A performance is to run the memory at the exact same speed as the CPU FSB, and lower the CAS latency as much as possible. Quantity is the most important factor, so go for it.
