I currently upgraded my RAM to DDR800 (at home waiting for me, just delivered). I currently have DDR 533 installed on my PC. If i run 2 gigs of DDR800 and 2 gigs of DDR533, will it all default to 533 speeds? Or will they run as is, 2 in 800 and 2 in 533? Just curious. Not that i need all that ram, but it never hurts to have tons of it. :) thx
 
If settings are on auto the system always defaults to the lowest speed.
You may or may not be able to get the 533 to run @ 800.
 
My motherboard allows DDR2-800, yet when i defaulted back to all stock speeds, my new ram still isnt running at 800Mhz. Any reason why?? Im confused about this memory thing.
 
After some reading, it appears that my Pentium D 805 is the limiting factor here. It seems that the small FSB allows for DDR-533 at max. Looks like ill be buying a C2D (or Quadcore) soon. No sense in having such memory if its gonna be stuck at less than 533.
