hi, i hav a P4 2.4 Ghz processor mounted on a Intel's 845GVSR motherboard. when i first bought this PC, it had a 256Mb Ram Module which had a Bus speed of 266. Now, i bought a new 512MB ram module with 400 bus speed...can put both these RAM modules in the two availble slots...and make them work.....? wht will be the effective bus speed of the sum total of the new RAM.......

YES. they are.but even the new one will work at 266(instead of 400) speed if u pair them up.it'l slow everything down.trash the 256(sell on e-bay).put in the 512.

They will both end up running at the speed of the slower RAM, which is 266. Also, make sure to put the 512 in slot 1, else the two will not work together.

NO,,, mostly RAM of MB that allow RAM of 266,,, will not accept RAM of 400,,,, and In general tha bus speed of both all RAM on one PC must be the same even if the MB can accept both

While the newer Intel chipsets support using memory of two different speeds (the i915 and up), your 845 chipset doesn't support that, according to Intel. There's only one way to find out for sure, though.;-)
