I am looking to use the ABIT K8T800 Chipset Motherboard for AMD Socket 754 CPU, Model "KV8-MAX3" mobo with Kingston HyperX Series 184 Pin 1GB(512MBx2) DDR PC-4000...are these compatible? here are links to the products... http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProdu...144-137&catalog=147&manufactory=BROWSE&depa=0 http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=13-127-165&catalog=22&depa=1
the only thing that mad me doubt myself was that i read that the kingston memory i was looking at was ddr500 and the mobo suposividle doesnt handle this..........
my suggestion would be not use pc 4000 maybe pc 3500 or 3700. was there a good deal on the kingston stuff?
yeah, i ahve been looking around...finding better and better deals on kingston hyper x memory.... the only reason i asked is cause alot of stuff, you cant return once you purchase..and i dont want to get some incompatible stuff, then blow out my memory....or anything else...and then not being able to sell it..........psheww
but what is the real diffrence between pc 3500 or 3700 or 4000? i mean what is the performance diffrence, what does it mean? and do you have any indepth memory rescources?
the ram would work i beleive, but only at the max speed your motherboard would support. i.e my motherboard (see sig) has a stick of DDR 400 in it, although only running at DDR266.
the numbers mean the difference in core speed of the memory IIRC by the time you get that high up tho, the difference in speed is very marginal and since the ram won't be the choke point i dont think making the step up to pc 4000 will warrant a huge increase in performance over pc 3500, or 3700 stuff. I say stick to what ever you mobo supports my guess is it would support it just not at those speeds
