Hi. Can anyone tell me if my motherboard is compatible with 667mhz DDR2 memories?

Question

It's a Asus p5vd2-mx. I was thinking about installing two sticks with 1G each. Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

Here's your motherboard's specs:
http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=310&l4=0&model=1200&modelmenu=2
It is clear that it only supports up to DDR2-533.

However, DDR2-667 will definitely work. BIOS will just downclock it to DDR2-533 speed. Any advantages? Many DDR2-667 RAM could usually run at lower/better latency than DDR2-533 at 533Mhz speed. DDR2-667 would also have better overclocking headroom in case you opt to overclock your processor.

Answer 2

i could disagree with them. in case you place that 667MHz on a 800MHz device, it is going to in no way paintings reliably. issues will seem to be only nice and then unexpectedly you will get a homestead windows blue reveal screen of demise. That memory will in no way save up with the fee of the motherboard.

Answer 3

Go to Asus's website and look up the specs in the manual for your motherboard. You'd be better doing your own research on this than by counting on others for something like this.

Answer 5

i believe asus make their own memory sticks...

ddr2nowadays is very versatile and should work with the majority of decent computers.
i took 1GB ddr2 stick out of an acer laptop and put it into a Toshiba so you should be fine with it.

God bless
