With the holiday season over, I decided to upgrade my system from 1GB to 2GB RAM. The memory I had was DDR2-800 Memory Expert from Adata. The place I'd originally bought the motherboard & memory from no longer carried that brand, but their tech guy said that other brands, for example Kingston, should work with it with no problem. (Yeah, Right!) I had a gift card from Fry's burning a hole in my pocket, so I got a 1GB DDR2-800 Kingston stick at Fry's. Now the problem. Either stick alone shows as DDR2-800 in POST. Both together show as DDR2-667. GRRRRR! I can : 1) Live with it. It's only a 16-17% drop in speed. 2) Take it back, get another Kingston or another brand (Patriot?), cross my fingers & hope. 3) Take it back and order a matching Adata stick online. 4) Buy another Kingston 1GB to make a pair and try to sell the old Adata for $10 or $15. Any suggestions? |
