Hi guys, i'm planning on purchasing a Kingston HyperX DDR-400 1GB for my Dell Dimension 2400. The HyperX range for Kingston memory has very aggressive and powerful timings and settings, timings being 2-3-2-6-1.
I'm unsure whether my Dell 0G1548 motherboard is powerful enough for these settings. Also I do not plan on manually overclocking my computer. So what I was wondering was that if I install this powerful memory in my computer, will it
(a) the memory will run at the published speed/timings by automatically overclocking my Motherboard to achieve these timings.
OR:
(b) the memory will run at a lower speed and less powerful timings because of the motherboard's configurations and settings.
I really don't wish to overclock my PC, also I'm unsure whether there is anything as memory 'automatically overclocking' a computer, since I've heard that overclocking is done manually.
Really would appreciate the help!
