HyperX DDR 266 333 to see if [mb sd ram] [googlegear]
Q: I bought a Dell Dimension 4550. It came with a 128 MB SD RAM, which was shown as 333 MHz in the BIOS. I upgraded to 640 with 512 MB HyperX 333 MHz Kingston from 2700 google gear . Now the whole thing can be seen as 640 MB of 266MHz SD-RAM. What should I do? Could this be a hardware error or a problem with the use of two different SD-RAMs?

Re:i believe this is a limitation with DDR memory. The max speed the RAM can run at is proportional to the amount of slots filled.

Re:I don't really know what Dell BIOS is like, but if you could you go into your BIOS and manually set the RAM speed to 333. Read your MB manual to see if they give you that option.

Re:tried using RAM's seperately. they run at 333!!! so i guess the problem comes only when i try using them together..mb ll check if the speed goes down if used at 266, else ll use only 512 at 333.

Re:i've seen the same issue on a friend's 4550 also.
i put some samsung pc2700 CL2.5 in and it turned into 266
i think the motherboard forces the ram to run at CL2, so it slows the ram to run at that timing.
i didnt see any speed differences at all tho…

Re:Try only the 512MB to see if it shows up as 333 or 266. If it shows up as 333, then you know the two modules don't like each other. If it shows up as 266, then RMA the 512MB and get the new one.
