Hello all,
Couldn't find a thread about this specific mix so wanted to ask. First to know, I've got an older DDR2 motherboard (linked below)
https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M4A79_Deluxe/specifications/
I already have 2x 2GB of DDR2 memory installed from a couple purchased as a pair.
CPU-Z ID's them as:
Corsair - Part Number CM2X2048-6400C4DHX
(Module Size 2048MBytes, Max Badwidth PC2-6400 (400MHz)
I've found a second hand store selling 1GB sticks of DDR2 individually listed only with the information "
1 GB PC6400 / DDR2 800Mhz 240 Pin Memory" (only way to buy them) for almost sofa money. While I don't like the random pick and mix idea I can't buy online and it's the only store around with anything like old ram.
Can anyone tell me if I purchase two of these 1GB 800MHz sticks and slot them in with my pair of 2GB 400Mhz if I'll have any problems in getting a total 6GB of system (win 7 x64) or if it looks like the motherboard won't like having such an odd selection. I've read on the forum about motherboards not liking being used as singles or three in a system so I'm wishing 2x2GB and 2x1GB is ok?
