Can I mix RDRAM for Dell Dimension 8100?

[watdahel]

I have a Dell Dimension 8100 that uses RDRAM. I want to add more memory to but I don't know whether I can mix the current memory with a different speed memory. Let's say I have PC400, can I mix that with PC800?

The slowest RDRAM made was PC600, IIRC.

IIRC, RDRAM will slow itself down to the slowest pair in the system. You'll have to do the matched-pair thing as well.

(I frickin' hate RDRAM.)

What about the nanosecond part? Do I have to match that as well?

The ns should be dependent on the PCxxx speeds, IIRC.

Can I mix ECC and non ECC memory?
