a RAM question.

[Ant]

If I add 2 sticks of 256MB Single Instruction Ram to a motherboard
containing a stick of 512MB 2700 DDRRAM will it lower the speed of the 512MB
to the speed of the 2 256MB sticks?

thanks

No it won't lower the speed as that is set by the
motherboard and the memory can only "try" (and hopefully
succeed?) to run at the speed the board sets, which is based
on defaults and the CPU installed, OR user settings to
override this. What's "Single Instruction Ram"?

Ooops, I meant SRAM or the RAM that was popular before the DDR stuff came
along

I think you mean SDRAM - Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory. In
that case, the answer would still be "no". This is because it won't
work. You can't mix SDRAM and DDRAM. Different interfaces, and
different power requirements.

or

SRAM, I think that refers to Static RAM, which I think I've only heard
of being used in caches (built into the CPU these days). The stuff is
fast, but very expensive. These aren't typically used for system RAM.
This being USENET, I'm reluctant to say "NEVER", but ...well... it's
kind of in that neighborhood as far as how often it's used in a
computer as main system memory.

Yes.
