800 RAM with 1066 RAM

legosmiles · 06-23-2009, 01:51 PM

I currently have 4 gb 800mhz gskill ram installed in my computer. I want to purchase another 4gb of ram however I would like to buy 1066mhz as my board and processor will support it. It shoud ok to install the 1066 next to the 800 and just run it all at 800 until I can upgrade the first set right? Both memories have the same 5-5-5-15 timings.

Yes, it should work fine. The faster RAM will run at the speed of the slower sticks.
