Ram N Stuff

[kratt]

I buyed 2*1 GB A-DATA 800Mhz ram DDR2, but my video card support only 633 and 533. I put 1 ram already in because rams run by the slowest ram, now i have 1512mb ram, 1 gb is sitting on my desk. Can i put 2 800 mhz ram to my motherboard without harming it?

Re: Ram N Stuff

you bought

when adding ram don't pay attention to the video card.

what processor and motherboard do you have?

like butler said dont worry about teh card, check your mb to see if it can take 2gb, unless its extreemly old it should be fine.
should tell you in your manuel

sweeeetttt

my MB must be a little old, i ordered my ram update & highest was 533mhz, but when my board was made (over 2 yrs ago ) i guess is why.

Re: Ram N Stuff

yeah that board should take the 2 new sticks. I'd pop out what you got, and put in the 2 new sticks. should be fine.

Re: Ram N Stuff

Mhh, i have 2048 mb ram now, but speed is still 633, but it needs to be 800.
Where do i see speed what ram have himself, maybe motherboard blocking some mhz

Okay, i looked everest littlebit. It seems ram are
System Memory 2048 MB (DDR2-800 DDR2 SDRAM)
And speed
Speed 667 MHz
Very weird? And Scinto says it will work. But speed 667 mhz, it needs to be 800mhz

its your motherboard, it doesnt support Ram speeds of 800mhz so it will run at the max speed the board allows which is 667mhz, either see if you can return the Ram and get slower speeds stuff or get a new motherboard.

yeah, if you MB only allows so much, thats why its not doing the 800mhz.

ya probably allready got this, but when it comes to ram & MB's stuff, this is cool little prog, ya dont install it jsut put on your desktop (unzip of course) very small & click it, shows you everything
