memory compatibility

[cshorte]

hi, simple question that i don't remmeber the answer

i use ddr 333 in one of my comp, id like to purchase more memory for it

if i buy a ddr 400 will it still work? i think the setting will automatically lower to the lower frequency...

i won't glitch up my computer if i do this right?

yep pretty much, the 400 will scale back to 333. If you are worried it won't just force it to by changing the setting in your bios

ohh yeh, and get some new RAM and a better system... ddr400 when 2gb DDR2 is so stinking cheap:

if you want my advice take the plunge and spend $500 on a new system, you can get alotta bang for buck nowadays. if you don't believe me have a look at some of the $500 build threads here on Tom's.
