Help! New DDR2-800 down to 667
Last response: in Memory
Hello!
I've just bought 2 sticks of Kingmax 2GB DDR2 800mhz ram. I already had the same kind of 2 sticks of ram in my computer, i thought it's a good time to expand it with another 4GB-s of memory. Now here comes the issue. The system boots up, recognised the total of 8GB memory but at 667mhz!!! What the hell![:(]( ":(")
It's the same brand, and the same 800mhz memory. I tried to load up the system with seperate kind of sticks installed, and figured it works flawlessly at 800mhz whenever i use only the 2 old sticks or only the new ones. Help pls...

More about : ddr2 800 667
You will need to check your motherboard documentation. I had a motherboard long ago, and basically it only supported DDR-400 speeds in specific memory configurations. From memory, I think some of the conditions that would drop it to DDR-333 would be if there was more than 1.5GB of RAM, or if any of the RAM modules was double sided, and I forget the rest, but there was a little matrix chart outlining this in the documentation. You may wish to check the documentation for your own board.
