800 mhz DDR2 and 667 mhz DDR2 in the same pc?

[sergiogarcia9]

Hi guys a quick question, is it possible to have 2 GB DDR2 800mhz and 1 GB DDR2 667 mhz in the same pc?
here's the link to the pc, im thinking about
ASRock > Products > Nettop Series > ION 330

Yes, but the DDR2 800 will clock down to the DDR2 667 speed, so they will all run on that specified speed of 667mhz, non dual channel.

Okay, thanks for your answer

I would double check that there's enough slots on the board also. I just relooked over the page and it says 1GB-800x2. Normally the ION boards only have two memory slots so I would check to see if it has 3 or more.

Edit: Just checked what it looks like inside and they're only two slots in the motherboard, so you wont be able to add any more ram to whats in there. And for an ION platform 2GB is plenty.

On my P45 UD3P mobo it allows for this. It will run each set of different sticks at there max speed even when overclocking.

Yeah, but theyre only two memory slots.

Yeah, but theyre only two memory slots.

Ummm that video shows 2 slots how to you figure it has 4?.

Go to www.crucial.com, and it will scan your pc and tell what it has, and what you can add. It will also tell you how many slots you have free or used.

Doesnt it show 4? :shock: Then why is there 4 ram blocks in it :s

CPUID will also show you what slots you have available. Check the SPD tab.

 

[TheWiz]

He can't use CPUID and CRUCIAL if he hasn't bought it yet...

But the video only shows 2 slots, and I also think 2GB is the most the atom proccesor can address. So now Im asking where you see four slots, the guy in the video even points out and says that there are 2 1gb slots.

 

[Frostbite]

Oh yes sorry. It says

2GB DDR2 800 MHz memory, support dual channel, maximum memory capacity 4GB*

So I would guess it has 2 Slots both in use as it says 1G*800x2
