    Hello all. TFI Friday eh?

    I just ordered 512mb pc3200 (400mhz) ram from Komplett. I already have 512 pc2700 (333) in my BG7 533mhz mobo.
    I am running a P4 2ghz pc400.

    Is there gonna be any problem running the two different speed ram chips together?

    No, its a DDR 533 board.

    Cheers for the reply. It only occured to be after I bought the ram that there might be a compatibility problem. As always:rolleyes:

    afaik, whatever speed ram you put in your pc, all the ram will operate at the slowest speed ram in the slots,
    so getting pc3200 was a waiste if there was a big money difference in the 2700 and 3200
