1GB first, or 512MB first? or does it matter?

Xycron · 10-07-2005, 02:55 AM

I have 1 GB DDR333 RAM(new) and 512MBDDR400 would it matter at all which is first? right now i have the 512MB first, because i wanted to leave everything alone except for the new RAM(1GB) so i would know if the PC stoped working it WAS the ram, not me messing something else up.so now i know it works, just wondering if i should switch it.

It doesnt matter at all but if the 1GB is new why the heck did you get 333?

Thats easy to say when it was a 40$ difference.

Also My FSB of my CPU is 533Mhz, so it couldn't run at DDR400 anyways, Yes i relise it would be better for upgrades later, but it was seroisly a 40$ increase in price if i went for it, and thats at least, I go the 1GB stick for only 40$ including shipping.

elmarcorulz, you my friend, should find out the facts before telling people to do things, Although i will if you supply me with the extra 40$'s, but if you here in my "shoes" and had the extra money/income I have,with the CPU i have,and the deals i had, you would have gotten the DDR333 over the DDR400 any day. Don't take it bad or anything though, i dont mean anything mean by it. xD
