The instruction for the MB says up to 4 gig and ddr333. Will the ddr400 work w/o messing up system? Why ask here? Your question has nothing to do with with OS (you did notice the letters X and P preceeding the word Hardware in the group title, right?) |

Hey, sorry guys. I didn't mean to spark an argument here. I stated that this
may not be the 'best' newsgroup to ask the question but I figured it would be an easy answer for those on here. Two points that may concern hardware was whether WinXP would function ok with the different type of stick installed. I have noticed a slow down with only one 512 stick operating which does affect the operation of my WinXP system. Plus my MB instructions suggests "For Dual-channel DDR (128-bit) high performance, at least 2 or more DIMM modules must be installed." That's the reason for asking if I can install two different sticks. Otherwise I'd just install the 1meg(DDR400) and take out the 512(DDR333). I'm still not sure is installing the two stick will give me the 128-bit if there are different size. Anyway, sorry if I ruffled your feather Mr. Smith. "Touch Base" wrote in message ...

adding memory
Dual channel usually requires "Matched" pairs
of memory. Different brands or different sizes will most likely cause a fall back to single channel. So use the first two slots as your two sticks are not matched. -- JS http://www.pagestart.com "L.S." wrote in message ... Hey, sorry guys. I didn't mean to spark an argument here.

Thanks. I installed the 1gb stick and the system is picking it
up(start-CP-system) but not sure how to check on dual channeling... May have goofed as I installed in slot A (1gb) and slot B (512) instead of using the 2 slot B's.. Should I change it?

That's the reason for asking if I can install two different sticks. Otherwise I'd just install the 1meg(DDR400) and take out the 512(DDR333). I'm still not sure is installing the two stick will give me the 128-bit if there are different size. Anyway, sorry if I ruffled your feather Mr. Smith. "Touch Base" wrote in message ...

To check I took it out and tried it in another system- no go. Here's the question and I know it's probably not correct newsgroup but should be simple answer for you sys gurus. The sticks are ddr333, 512meg, 184 pin. I have a extra ddr400, 1gb, 184 pin stick. The instruction for the MB says up to 4 gig and ddr333. Will the ddr400 work w/o messing up system? Why ask here? Your question has nothing to do with with OS (you did notice the letters X and P preceeding the word Hardware in the group title, right?) ================================================== ====== Dear Mr Smith, What part of XP is hardware? Please enlighten me as to what kind of posts should be in this newsgroup? -- Regards, Touch Base |
