1 ram is 2700;1 ram is 2100; so do they both read at 2100?

There is a possibility. Either the PC2700 runs at PC2100
speed or the PC2100 is overclocked to run at PC2700. You
have to check your front side bus(FSB) speed for the
answer. Download Sisoft Sandra from www.downloads.com to
find out, or go to your BIOS. The speed of PC2100 is
266MHz, and PC2700 is 333MHz. The FSB determines the
speed. So check to see if the FSB is 266MHz or 333MHz.
Good Luck!

I have one ram module that is PC2100 and the other is
PC2700. They both show
in system properties and in the free program called CPUz.
I am wondering
though, is the 2700 module reading at the slower 2100
level?


.

To explain to the OP a little more. SDRAM is designed to
sync dynamically with the system bus, what ever the speed of
the FSB is the speed the RAM will run at. The RAM speed
ratings are the fastest speeds that the RAM will operate at
error free. RAM is tested and rated statistically. CPU
speeds are also rated in the same manner, which is why
over-clocking works, some of the CPU that are sold as 2 GHz
can run at 3 GHZ and some will fail at 2.2 GHz.
