Hello.
So I basically assembled a new computer.
I have a MSI Z97 GAMING 5 Motherboard and a 8GB HyperX FURY blau DDR3-1866 DIMM RAM. My computer works perfectly.
My old motherboard had 2x 2GB RAM installed, Team Xtreem 2GB 240-Pin DDR3-1600 (PC3 12800).
I'm pretty satisfied with my 8 GB RAM Memory, but I don't know what to do with my old Memory modules. I'll either give it to a friend or keep them for later use.
But I want to know, should I keep them, would they even be compatible for my Motherboard + already installed RAM?
I know that my old RAM has 1600 MHz and my new one runs with 1866 MHz, but is that a problem? How would that work if I had all three sticks on my motherboard?
In theory that would be 12 GB RAM, but how would it function? Would it slow down due to the older Memory sticks?
Thanks in advance
