    DDR 4 Case Latency

    Hello, the latency basically the analog time that the DRAM requires to bring the data from the internal array to the output drivers. This did not really improve over time, as it is just a question of pyhsics how long it takes to transfer the information on a die. So the clock speed does not...

    Old sdram ECC compatibility

    Guess if it is not working it is a question of your tendency to play around and how much ressources you want to spend .. Re-programming the EEPROM is not a big thing, but it might cost some effort to figure out what settings would fit to your system .. Hermann

    Can I run 1333MHZ DDR3 Ram on one slot and 1600 MHZ Ram on another slot simultaneously

    Hello, it might even be slower than the lowest Speed. There are many timing dependencies in the DRAM Spec (e. g. CL at different clock speeds) , but the spec has ensured that there is one Setting which needs to be supported by all DRAMs. And I think to remember, that this worst case setting...

    DDR3L into DDR3 Slot

    Hello, yes it is correct, that they should use the same Chips. So from a functionallity point of view it is really just the same compatibility issue as with DDR3 from one vendor to another vendor (or even just for one die shrink to the next die shrink). JEDEC defines that the DIMM needs to be...

    what does PC stands for in the memory speed?

    Hello, the naming of the DIMMs is somehow defined by JEDEC (as the spec is also defined from this group). I have to admit, even participating in the specificaiton I don't remember what the PC stands for :-( ... But my guess it is really Personal Computer as name for a class of PC's which...

    Old sdram ECC compatibility

    Hello, if it is really important to upgrade It might be worth a try. There is one additonal component on the ECC DIMM and this is mentioned also in the SPD EEPROM. It depends on the controller if it even reads this information. If it does and comes to the conclusion "not compatible" you can...

    DDR3L into DDR3 Slot

    Standard DDR3L Modules should be backwards compatible and accept 1.5V as well. Looking to the spec that you sent it says: Module Voltage 1.35 V / 1.5 V And this is the difference: DDR3L can run with 1.35 as well as with 1.5V .. so if there is no other incompatibility with your motherboard and...
