Hi
My Mobo is a P5WD2-E premium (OS is Windows 2000 Pro). I presently have 1 GB (2*512MB) of memory (OCZ, DDR2-533). I want to add 2*512MB of DDR2-667 (Kingston) or 2*1024MB of DDR2-667 (Kingston). Of course, I will install the ram on the proper dual-channel
Is their any problem having a system with ram running at different frequencies? From what I understand, my new ram will run at 533, right?
Presently my FSB: DRAM ratio is 3:4.
If I add 2*1024MB of DDR2-667, what will be new ratio?
Finally what will be the best investment vs performance?
Keep 2*DDR2-533 + 2*512MB of DDR2-667 for 58$ CAD?
Keep 2*DDR2-533 + 2*1024MB of DDR2-667 for 125$ CAD?
Get rid of the DDR2-533 + 4*512MB of DDR2-667 for 116$ CAD?
Thanks in advance for your answers
