Way off forum topic..computer Question

[whyask]

Hey guys I consider myself very very computer savy. BUT, Im rebuilding my gamming system and I needed to know can you run DDR 400 and DDR2 667 memory together with no problems. My MB has 2 slots for each. And I figured If I can max them both out that would be great !

What board is it?

I know with some boards you can run 2 speeds of memory but it will scale the faster stick(s) down to the slower.

Its a ASRock 4CoreDual-SATA2

the 667 ddr2 should run at the speed of the slower memory stick. It's not like sdram anymore where you can't run pc100 and pc133 memory chips together. I think with ddr memory, the faster memory will run at the slower memory's speed.

sweet thats what I thought So I went ahead and went with 3 gigs of DDR2 667 by Gskill for 60 bucks ! One 2 gig stick and one 1 gig stick. I love new egg! That should handel Crysis!
