Theoretically, the other RAM will work at 533 like the slowest one. What's your motherboard?

its d915GV ... if other ram is 800mhz bus will it work as 533?

D 915 GV is the chipset not the motherboard model. The model should be written on the motherboard.

Yes, the RAM will work at 533 if there's a 533 one in the motherboard but do you know what kind od RAM? DDR?. Anyway get your RAM from somewhere where you can return it in case it's not working on your mobo. Is this your mobtherboard?

Get a 2GB stick of DDR2/533/667/800 and see if it works with the other one. Get a RAM with 1.8V voltage.

[mosox]

It should work.

 

[ionezation]

[mosox]

What PSU do you have?

 

[ionezation]

its normal that came with it ! 350W

 

[mosox]

The memory sticks don't burn computers, they might not work that's all. Maybe you had a power surge and the PU didn't protect the system.
