Yes, if you make sure that both DIMMs accept the same voltage range. The memory should work at DDR-266 speeds, but you may need to back off the memory timings (ie, go to CAS-3) for the system to be stable. For example, I have one system which was using a 512MB PC2700 (DDR-266?) DIMM, and I added a 1GB PC3500 DIMM. It would work fine at PC2100 (DDR-233), and almost work fine at PC2700-- but would generate a memtest error every few hours. "almost" stable isn't good enough. Since the system ran faster using just the 1GB stick at full speed, rather than trying to combine both, I've moved the 512MB stick elsewhere. If you do combine memory of different speeds, be sure to test the combination out overnight using memtest or some similar utility. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I believe that the MB will time it to the DDR-266. I doubt it will run some at DDR-400 speeds and some at DDR-266 speeds.

P4B533 vs DDR Ram 400 MHz
Hi, Yes, it's so if you refer to Asus official website. But today I've just added such memory into a P4B533 box at my office. It can bootup and has no problem today so I think that I can't totally believe its document on Asus's web site - Must give them a try. But I want to know that "is there any issue in the LONG TERM". Apart from it not being supported by Asus ? Considering the fact that DDR-400 will simply run on a lower frequency and possibly not quite-so-good performance as you would expect from a DDR-400 stick, I don't expect any problems. It's backwards compatible. Gr, Nils. Hi all What if I using both of them together ? I mean using both DDR-266 and DDR-400 at the same time.

P4B533 vs DDR Ram 400 MHz
Hi, lists I own the Asus P4B533 mainboard for a year and it is using DDR-266 MHz. I want to add more memory with DDR-400 MHz. Have any one had experience on this situation. What I would like to know is "Is there any problem if I will use DDR-400 MHz with mainboard Asus P4B533. Any comment is welcome. TIA, Pjn _ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
