Quick question about RAM

mrtruesdale · Sep 23, 2006

I'm currently running two DDR RAM 512MB 3200 400Mhz modules and was thinking of adding some more. I've just got my hands on a 1Gb 3200 400Mhz module, is it bad to mix these RAM types? Or as long as they are the same spec are they OK?

Thanks in advance.

CPU - AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200
Mobo - K8N Neo2 Platinum, nvidia nforce 3 Ultra chipset

In theory they should work perfectly, in practice they often don't. It all depends on your mobo and what chipset it uses and how it was designed.

I used to use an MSI 745Ultra with 2x 256 pc 2100 and 1x 512 pc 2100 and it worked fine provided the 256's were in slots 1 and 2 and the 512 was in slot 3. But ram was slower back then.

I agree play around with which ones go where, mine wouldnt work unless the larger ones were in first slots.
