DRAM - Can I Mix Different DRAM Memory Speeds?: Are There Different Types of ddr2 RAM?

- DDR2 RAM comes in different speeds such as PC2-3200, PC2-5300, PC2-6400, and PC2-8500. - DDR2 modules are also available for desktops and laptops and are not backward compatible with DDR or DDR3 slots. - The maximum capacity for DDR2 DIMMs is generally 4GB, though some higher capacity modules were available.

Are there different types of ddr2 RAM?

Other common speeds for DDR2 SDRAM modules include PC2-3200 (DDR2-400;
3200Mbps throughput); PC2-5300 (DDR2-667); PC2-6400 (DDR2-800); and PC2-8500
(DDR2-1066).

Are all ddr2 RAM compatible?


No, there are different types of DDR2 modules. DDR2 is more thought of as a
specification. There are desktop and laptop modules as well as different speeds such as
PC2-3200, 4200, 5300, 6400 and 8500. The modules are keyed different than DDR and
DDR3 slots, so they are not backward compatible either.

What is the highest ddr2 RAM?


The maximum capacity on commercially available DDR2 DIMMs is 4GB, but chipset
support and availability for those DIMMs is sparse and more common 2GB per DIMM
are used.

Can I mix 4gb and 8gb RAM?


There are chips which are 4GB and 8GB, in dual channel mode this will not work. But
you would still get 12GB total only a little slower. Sometimes you will have to swap the
RAM slots since the detection has bugs. ... IE you can either use the 4GB RAM or the
8GB RAM but not both at the same time.

Can I use RAM with different Mhz?


You can normally use different frequency RAM, but the computer will run at the
lowest. Yes, you can use RAM of any speed with any motherboard but make sure
your motherboard supports that speed. Else, the speed of RAM would be clocked
down to the speed that the motherboard supports

Can you have 2 different speeds of RAM?


You can use memory modules of different speeds as long as they are faster than those
specified for your computer. It is recommended to use modules of the same speed as
those already installed in your system. If you do mix speeds, the modules will all run at
the speed of your slowest modules.

DRAM - Can I mix different DRAM memory speeds?


You can use memory modules of different speeds as long as they are faster than those
specified for your computer. It is recommended to use modules of the same speed as
those already installed in your system. If you do mix speeds, the modules will all run at
the speed of your slowest modules.

For example, for a DDR2 667MHz system you could add 800MHz modules, they will
run at the 667 speed.

You cannot mix DDR, DDR2, DDR3 in a system as each technology requires a different
type of socket.

Can I use faster RAM than motherboard supports?


Memory Speed
Faster modules may not run at a faster speed. ... For example, a motherboard and CPU
that can support up to 2133 MHz memory can use 2400 MHz RAM but only run it up
to 2133 Mhz.27 iul. 2019

Can I use 2400MHz ram in 2133MHz motherboard?


If you set it for 2133, it won't be a problem. You can underclock RAM modules and they
will work fine, since they were rated for faster operation to begin with. If you try to force
it to run at 2400, the CPU's memory controller and the motherboard may or may not be
able to tolerate being run out of spec

Does RAM speed matter for compatibility?


Mixing RAM speed, however, is a slightly different matter. ... Your RAM will only run
at the speed of the slowest DIMM, unless you wanted to overclock the others.

Can I put 1600MHz ram in a 1333MHz slot?


RAM does not run at the speed it is sold at, it is sold at the maximum speed it is
guaranteed to work at. 1600mhz RAM will work at 1600mhz, or any speed less than
that. RAM speed is set by your motherboard and processor combination. In short, yes
1600mhz ram will work at 1333mhz just fine.2 ian. 2013

Can you use higher speed RAM?


Memory Speed
Faster modules may not run at a faster speed. ... For example, a motherboard and CPU
that can support up to 2133 MHz memory can use 2400 MHz RAM but only run it up to
2133 Mhz.
