Will PC6400 DDR2 800MHz RAM work in DDR2 533/667/800 motherboard (ECS Geforce 6100SM-M)?

Hi,I have just bought a motherboard and some RAM. I have just noticed that the motherboard does not take quite the same RAM as I bought for it.

The motherboard is an 'ECS Geforce 6100SM-M MATX AM2 DDR2' which, it says, supports DDR2 533/667/800 memory modules at 266/333/400 MHz memory bus.

The RAM I have bought is 800MHz PC6400 DDR2 800MHz. Will this work?

Thanks for your help

    Hello,

    Yes it should. It is DDR2 (double data rate) which means it sends data at both the rising and falling edge of the clock cycle or twice the rate of SDR. So 400Mhz doubled is called DDR800 or pc6400.

    Cheers
