Re: Mixing Ram

Vista comes in both 32 bit and 64 bit. Seeing as you're on Vista right click Computer and select Properties. Under System it lists "System type" and says whether it is 32 bit or 64 bit.

Re: Mixing Ram

should be no problem. the ddr800 will run at ddr667 speeds, though, unless you overclock it.

I put my ddr2 800 sticks into my old mobo just to see if it will work (it does) but the problem is that this mobo in the specs it says it only supports 533 and 667. But it showing up as ddr2 800.... am I gonna brake my sticks if I leave it in this mobo till my new mobo arrives?

Doubtful, but if you're worried, take'em out.

Re: Mixing Ram

Ok I got my new mobo but I didnt do enough research before buying....

Problem.: I have a 8 pin 12v PSU connecter but this mobo only has a 4 pin. I just plugged it in anyways and im running it now. What are the risks of doing this?

Re: Mixing Ram

Nothing. Are you sure it's not a 24 pin connector, with a 20 pin motherboard?

Thats the mobo I use now.

I have the normal 24 pin connector but the 12v 4-8 pin connector next to the CPU is what im talking about. When I plug my 8 pin cable into the 4 pin slot on this mobo are there chances of failure?
