Is it possible to use DDR400 with FSB 333mhz with ASUS A7V8X-X ?
Thanks. I just got so confused now. What I found about my motherboard
is that it this AMD Athlon XP 2200+, 256 kb c., socket A, BUS 266 MHz. I still don't know if I upgrade my memory to DDR333 will I be able to use the 333mhz memory speed with the maximum 266 fsb bus speed of my ASUS motherboard. I just want to know, yes or no. I don't want to buy new cpu. Should I instead, just buy regular 512mb at 266mhz to get some extra speed without buying expensive RAM. I guess I come to the same question.... Does Ram speed should necessarily run the same as cpu speed? If higher, will it downgrade to cpu speed? If lower, will the cpu not support it? Regarding the 1.8 speed, I 've read some articles and basically I now understand that this is the max speed of my board and that the 2.200+ is actually the Pentium speed. Well, I guess I was mislead in this purchase. In fact, I did not research too much about it, because I just need any motherboard to get my pc working. Now what would be the recommendation regarding pc2100, pc2700, types etc. I don't understand that very much. I don't know what my memory type actually is. Could you help me how to find this out with my current memory so that I can buy the type. I am thinking they should be the same right? For compatibility issue? |
