System memory question

[juggy4805]

My current PC uses DDR PC2700 184 pin memory. This speed is what my motherboard uses. Will it damage anything if I use faster memory?

No, the BIOS will pick it up regardless. It will just operate at 2700 MHz. You can mix PC2100, PC2700 and PC3200. They'll just operate at the slowest RAM speed (PC2100) or in your case 2700.

Go to crucial.com, and run their memory test.

They'll tell you what memory is compatibile, how much memory you have, how much you can have, and what their recommendation is as to which will work best, and how much you need.

Unless the RAM is physically defective, it can't damage your motherboard.

Unless you try to force in in backwards...

Backwards memory? I think I have that problem!
