Hello All
I have a motherboard Ausu a8n-vm which is said to support up to DDR 400.

Is it possible to install on this board DDR 667?

will it fit to the slot?

will it work?

and will it reduce performance?


Thanks
Dror

DDR and DDR2 are physically incompatible, so you won't even be able to install it.

Listen to what the others said. You can't install DDR 667 (which is a specific speed of DDR2) in DDR 400 slots. You'll need DDR RAM, which normally comes in speeds of 266, 333, and 400. 400 will obviously be fastest. Unfortunately, DDR RAM is considerably more expensive than DDR2 RAM.
