re simm speed in article apr news unomaha edu hkok cse kok hon yin writes robert desonia robert desonia hal k ann arbor mi us wrote b bk is it possible to plug in ns or ns simms into a motherboard saying bk wants ns simms you shouldn t have troubles i have heard of machines having problems with slower than recommended memory speeds but never faster it should run without any trouble of course but why do you want to buy some ns and mixed them with ns ns is more expensive than ns and furthermore your machine will run the slowest simms clock speed eventhough you have ns just my cents thought your machine will run at whatever the bus is jumpered to cmos is set to usually wait states regardless of what speed ram is installed no motherboard can sense the speed of the ram installed unless you call failing as a sort of auto sense this is how you can sometimes use slower ram in a machine you either set the number of wait states to accomodate the slow ram in which case all memory will run at that slower rate or you reduce the wait states and take the chance that the slower ram will act like faster ram and you won t crash putting faster ram in won t speed things up unless you tell the machine it has faster ram mixing fast and slow ram will not help you if you have to keep the bus slowed down to accomodate slow ram jiml mailer address is buggy reply to jiml strauss ftcollinsco ncr com james lewczyk x ncr mpd fort collins co jim lewczyk ftcollinsco ncr com
