Mixing CL6 with CL4 DDR2-800?

[Rhezuss]

Hi, quick question...

If you have 2 sticks of DDR2-800 CL6 can you add 2 other sticks of DDR2-800 CL4?

Thanks!

You will probably need to run at the slower latency of the two.
Voltage is another issue that could cause incompatibility with the two sets.
If both are rated at the same voltage you stand a good chance of them running together.

Nice post Blain.

your going to have to run both sticks at CL6

If you use CL4 I doubt youll even see a post up screen.

In this case what you should try is boosting up the 800Mhz with another value that the BIOS gives option for. you can lets say OC to 826Mhz and @ CL6 your sticks will be fine and youll gain a bit more bandwidth. gl and let us know

Thanks guys for your answers. I'll try to stick to CL6 then.
I just don't want the trouble.
Thanks!
