A Question of RAM

<< < (2/2)

infract:
Most PC3200 (DDR 2x200MHz) ram is backward compatible to PC2700 (2x166MHz) and PC2100 (2x133MHz).  

Notice: PC3200 is NOT dual channel. I believe that starts at PC4500.

Se7en:
Incorrect. Dual channel has nothing to do with the specification of the ram used, it just requires a memory controller that supports it, and the memory to be in matched pairs of modules. Its a technique used by the controler to get more bandwidth out of the memory.

Note that due to the FSB bottleneck, dual channel memory has no benefits for the nforce 2 platform.

cliffkik:
The 3200 sticks should work in your 2700 mobo, but it'll only work at 2700 speeds, which is a small waste of money (3200 is more expensive than 2700 sticks...) but if you're getting it for free then why not!

Schmung:
bit of a bump there.. Anyways, the RAM works fine, been sat in my machine since the 18th.
