    800 compatible with 600?

    Let's see, I have currently 128 RDRAM PC 600 on my comp, I'm going for 384, but I can't seem to find any 600s in my stores... AND NO, I am not going to buy from on-line.

    The only RDRAM most stores I see cary are 800

    I know my HP mother board can support either 600 or 800, but can I mix them? For example put a 128 PC 800 in slot A1 and B1, and put 64 PC 600 in A2 and B2?

    Any specific brands I should look for or avoid?

    The current rig that 0wnz:
    Antec 2650|A64 3200+|ECS 755-A2|1gb Kingston Value RAM|17" Samsung 730b|Gigabyte 6600GT|8x DVD-RW|160 GB Seagate HD|250 GB external

    The rig that 0wned:
    HP Pavilion 9800|1.3ghz P4|384 RDRAM|Radeon 9000pro 128 MB|15" monitor (12" viewable )|30 gig HD|Windows ME (Cheaper than Windows 98!)|12 DVD-ROM|52/24/52 CD-RW|Nice buttons

    there are too many online stores.. it depends WHERE you order from.

    hang around the boards and you'll see online stores, one i have order 4 times is www.newegg.com and gateway accesorires

    Yeah, sounds like you haven't tried newegg.com, trust me, order from them, and you will never have worries.

    Check with HP tech support at www.hp.com for your specific model machine because some can mix and some cannot.

    Thumbs up

    I buy all of my ram from Crucial and have never had any problem at all! In fact I have found their shipping to often be quicker than 2 day!
    So much to learn
    In so little time!
