got a soltek v5 kt333 have a question.

[rass02]

alright here is the scoop, I am curently building a new comp with an xp 2000+ cpu. well the deal is i just got my soltek v5 motherboard with the kt333 chip set. my question is that i have a Crucial 256 stick of pc2100 and a stick of 256 pc2700 is there how would this work? would it overclock the 2100 or would the 2700 run at 2100 speed. I also have a thermaltake memory cooling kit with an upgraded fan, and a crap load of fans in a lan-lai 60 aluminum case. thanks

I believe the memory will run at the lower memory speed if you have 2 different speeds installed.

EDIT: Oh yeah. WELCOME TO THE FORUMS!

WELCOM TO THE FORUMS!!


i'd sale the 2100 ram, and take the proceeds to a new stick
of pc2700. that'll be great especially with your kt333 chipsets.

i've been drooling over the new soltek for a while now

Same boat 9just ordered the new Soltek KT333 based board).

I'm hearing Crucial 2700 is the way to go but man...I told the Mrs. $100 in memory would do it.

Darn price gouging chip companies....grrrrr.

Crucial got pc2700 now?

Make that Corsair not Crucial. They don't have 2700 yet that I know of.

Sorry.

BTW, I just ordered 256MB Kingmax TinyBGA true PC2700 DDR333 -5ns CL2.5 (CAS2.5) 184pin non-ECC DIMM


I hope that it is good stuff.

thanks for the replies, guess i'll just have to grab some 2700 and deal with it. I'll tell ya'll how this soltek works, i got goose bumps already.

FWIW (and that isn't much) the online rating at newegg was giving the board a 2 out of 5 with 2 people responding. The funny thing is that newegg just started carrying the board a day or two ago. How someone could get it in, test it, and respond in thta time is amazing.

Crucial got pc2700 now?

It's not released yet, but yes, they do have PC2700.
