With the holiday season over, I decided to upgrade my system from 1GB
to 2GB RAM. The memory I had was DDR2-800 Memory Expert from Adata. The place I'd originally
bought the motherboard & memory from no longer carried that brand,
but their tech guy said that other brands, for example Kingston, should
work with it with no problem. (Yeah, Right!) I had a gift card from
Fry's burning a hole in my pocket, so I got a 1GB DDR2-800 Kingston stick at Fry's.
Now the problem. Either stick alone shows as DDR2-800
in POST. Both together show as DDR2-667. GRRRRR!
I can :
1) Live with it. It's only a 16-17% drop in speed.
2) Take it back, get another Kingston or another brand (Patriot?),
cross my fingers & hope.
3) Take it back and order a matching Adata stick online.
4) Buy another Kingston 1GB to make a pair and try to sell the old
Adata for $10 or $15.
Any suggestions?
