MSI K8NGM2-FID or nForce 6150 memory question

[plonk420]

if i put in 2 DDR333 sticks and 2 DDR400 sticks, are the nForce 6150 (or specifically the K8NGM2-FID i'm looking at) mobos smart enough to run the 2 DDR400s at 333, or do they puke?

has anyone tried this on the MSI board or any other 6150 board?

edit: fixed the bolded text from reading 2 DDR333s at 333 to read 2 DDR400s

The BIOS has selectable memory ratios so you can run your memory at 100, 133, 166, and 200 Mhz (double it to get the DDR speed). While testing/overclocking I just set mine to 100 (1/2 basically) and it ran fine.

I am using DDR400 sticks in the box though but the motherboard manual specifically says at several points that you can install DDR 333/400 modules in any of the DIMM slots so you should be fine.

the website says you can have 4 double sided DDR333 sticks or 4 single sided DDR400 sticks. double sided DDR400 can only be used it two slots. if the MSI site is to be believed 😉

If you have 2 sticks of DDR333 and 2 sticks of DDR400, it will run all 4 of them at the fastest speed all of them can handle (DDR333 in your case).
