Let's say I have DDR2 800 RAM, and I get a motherboard that can have DDR2 1600 RAM. Is it possible to use the DDR2 800 on said motherboard?
I think you are able to use slower ram.
Yeah, but it slows down your system. There's no sense in getting the faster MB just to use slow RAM.
Sure there is. If he has DDR2 800MHz RAM now but doesn't have the money to upgrade yet, he can get a mobo that supports 1066MHz RAM so he can upgrade in the future when he has the cash.chittydog wrote:

There is no such thing as DDR2 1600 memory. If it's DDR3 1600 you cannot use DDR2 ram in it.acEofspadEs6313 wrote:

I was just throwing out numbers. Sorry for not being all mighty in knowing all about this stuff.DeathUnlimited wrote:
