I'm running a foxconn motherboard (g33m http://www.foxconnchannel.com/product/Motherboards/detail_overview.aspx?ID=en-us0000319 )with the intel core 2 quad processor q8300 (4m cache, 2.5 ghz, 1333 mhz fsb http://ark.intel.com/cpu.aspx?groupId=39107 )
My motherboard allows the usage of both 667 & 800 mhz ddr2 ram up to 8 gigs. I have 2 x 2 gigs of 667 mhz ddr2 ram and 2 x2 gigs of 800 mhz ram installed and my computer keeps crashing and giving me memeory / hardware errors and I'm not able to boot back up into my operating system without removing the 2 sticks of 800 mhz.
Am I not able to run these simultaneously? I was under the impression that I could, but the 800 would just run at the 667 speed. If it is okay to run the two different speeds is there a preferred way to install the memory in certain dimm slots? (800 in dimm 1 & 2 & 667 in dimm 3 &4 or 800 in dimm 1 & 3 and 667 in dimm 2 & 4 or putting the 667 in the 1st dimm slot)
Any suggestions?
