    Is ddr2 speed backwards compatible?

    Hi folks, Got a quick question, is ddr2 speeds backwards compatible like regular ddr? I'm looking to add some more memory to two Dell optiplex systems at work, they both have single 256 mb sticks of ddr2 400 (pc2 3200). The price for a gig (2x512) of ddr2 533 (pc2 4200) is cheaper than...

    BenQ 1655 with lightscribe OEM $39.99 + $4.99 s/h

    They're not "exactly" the same, if you look at both of the faceplates, you will see the differences. The OEM version has a dull black faceplate compared to the retail version which has a glossy faceplate that comes with a protective plastic sheet over it (retail version matches a gloss black...

    Infocus 5000 Projector w Free 76" Screen for $999.00 after rebate

    $300 is actually not a bad price for a projector bulb (~2000 hours of usage). My Optoma H31 spare bulb was only $250 which is very reasonable, my BenQ bulb on the other hand is $400+ :( MM

    I've had my 3550a for two weeks, its dead silent. Much quieter than my 2500a, that was the first thing I noticed after installation and alot more quieter than my Lite-on that was replaced by it. MM :)

    Ultra X-Connect 500w PSU - $14.99 AR

    It's Ultra. Not Ultra-X. Ultra-X is that company that makes Ram Stress Test and POST cards and other diagnostic goodies. And, although I do agree this thread has digressed wildly from it's original intent (NOT MY DOING!!!!) I do think it's a healthy debate and may even be worth moving to the...

    Ultra X-Connect 500w PSU - $14.99 AR

    I too have never had a problem with my Ultra-X, got it as an Xmas gift. The only reason I sold mine was the cables were pretty stiff to work with in my particular box and to be honest I was a little nervous after reading all the posts from the Ultra-X haters on this board....omg its gonna catch...

    CORSAIR XMS 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit System Memory $226 shipped now

    I'm running my OCZ's in a P4C800E mobo running mildly OC'd at 212mhz, with 2-3-3-5 timings, stock voltage and prime stable. If I relaxed the timings some more, I might be able to go a bit higher, but Im pretty happy with them at that speed right now. MM :)

    CORSAIR XMS 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit System Memory $226 shipped now

    Murdock, if you're not dead set on the Corsairs, you might want to look at the OCZ 2 gig kits. Better timings with the OCZ's and a better deal as of today...... 2gb OCZ 2-3-2-5 ram I got a set of the OCZ's about a month ago and can say that I havnt been disappointed with them. MM :)

    OCZ Value VX $114.95

    I must have just gotten some bad sticks, I tested each matched set individually and like I stated before, neither set would pass memtest on my Asus P4C800 E deluxe, 2.8C Northwood, and OCZ powerstream 520 psu. I thought the G.skills were the better deal when I purchased them (I paid just...

    They may say that but its hard for me to believe since it took 7 days from day I sent my first 3 dvd's back to get one in return. I'm still waiting for the other two, its been 16 days and only 4 dvd's total received. MM

    Warm: Netflix $15.99 a month

    I dont really have a problem with their web site or movie selections, its just that their service flat out sucks arse in my area. Their CS isnt really worth a crap either. If the service is considered "improved" with the opening of some new distro centers, man I'd really hate to have seen...

    Low 12v reading on new OCZ Modstream Power Supply

    Not to mention that theres a HUGE difference in price between USPS Express mail and First class. I seriously doubt that UPS or Fedex could ship a tube of AS5 for less than $5.99 total. :confused:
