Hello. I have a MSI P6N SLI Platinum mobo with 2x 1GB Corsair CM2X0124 PC 5400 RAM, running in dual channel.
I have recently felt the need to get some more memory, but since I won't be upgrading my mobo for a while, I was wondering what would be best to do.
My question is, can I put another 2GB of memory (2x1GB) on the other channel but of a different spec? That same memory above is becoming a little hard to find around here being old and all. So I was wondering - if I put in some corsair pc6400 memory running at native 800mhz on those 2 slots, would it work? Or would there be memory incompatibility and they'd be gimped running at 667 like the other 2?
Also, I was taking a look at the mobo's specs again and checked that the FSB is 1333/1066MHz (see http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130081). Does that mean I could get some better memory and run them at 1066 MHz?
Thanks!
