Can I use 1066 and 1333 RAM together?

Can I use 1066 and 1333 RAM together?

Technically yes. Your motherboard will automatically down clock the 1333 RAM to 1066 to match the other stick. However, it’s always a good idea to buy modules in pairs.

What is the difference between 1333MHz and 1600MHz RAM?

There is really no performance difference between running the RAM at 1333MHz compared to 1600MHz. The reason to buy 1600MHz is if you are heavily OCing. When you OC the CPU (unless you’ve got an unlocked multi like the 955) you also change the frequency the RAM.

Can I mix RAM with different Mhz?

You can use memory modules of different speeds as long as they are faster than those specified for your computer. It is recommended to use modules of the same speed as those already installed in your system. For example, for a DDR2 667MHz system you could add 800MHz modules, they will run at the 667 speed.

Is 800MHZ ram slow?

800MHZ RAM is very slow by modern standards. 16GB of RAM at 3200MHZ can today be had for around £60. Higher RAM speeds used to be almost prohibitively expensive, but nowadays fast RAM is just so cheap that you may as well just get some. Hope this helps!

What is max bandwidth of RAM?

The “3200” refers to the module’s bandwidth (the maximum amount of data it can transfer each second), which is 3200MB/s, or 3.2GB/s.

What if I put higher frequency RAM?

It makes no difference. If the RAM run as a faster frequency then supported by the CPU it will be ran at the frequency that is supported.

What are the types of DDR3?

DDR3 SDRAM. Double data rate type three SDRAM (DDR3 SDRAM) is a type of synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) with a high bandwidth (“double data rate”) interface, and has been in use since 2007. It is the higher-speed successor to DDR and DDR2 and predecessor to DDR4 synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) chips.

What is maximum frequency of DDR3 RAM?

Therefore, with a memory clock frequency of 100 MHz, the maximum transfer rate of DDR3 SDRAM is 6400 MB/s. The DDR3 standard allows DRAM chips with a capacity of up to 8 gibibits, and has a maximum of 4 levels, each of 64 bits, with a total capacity of up to 16 GiB per DDR3 DIMM.

What is the speed of DDR3?

DDR3 is supposed to act twice as fast as DDR2 memories. Thus DDR3 speeds range between 800 MHz (DDR3-800), 1600 MHz (DDR3-1600) and 2133 MHz (DDR3-2133). DDR3-800 transfers 6400 MB/s; DDR3-1600 transfers 12800 MB/s and DDR3-2133 transfers 17066 MB/s.

Can DDR3 RAM work in DDR4 slot?

Not DDR3 but DDR3L, and that depends on the board. DDR4 ram cannot fit into a DDR3L slot and vice versa. Only board that can, is only if they decided to add both DDR3L and DDR4 slots. This means you can have both choices, but they cannot be used at the same time.
