I recently got a buttload of computer parts from work. I have a working computer and a slightly ancient mobo - Asus P4S533 Anyway, I also got a bunch of memory as will. I have 1.2 gb of 333mhz and 1gb of ddr400 ram (in 2 sticks). I was able to boot up the computer with all the memory in.
My question is - what is the difference between all the speeds? Obviously the mobo supports all of them, so what is stopping me from running all of them at the same time? Is it better to run just the faster stuff with only 1GB? I'm not too terribly familiar with memory speed; I just want to make sure I won't blow something up...the computer was free, but I'd hate to bork it up. Thanks for all help
