Hi,

I am interested in buying this board. I have 2 GB (4 x 512 mb) DDR2 PC-3200
RAM.

Does anybody know if I can use this RAM in this board, or do I have to get
new RAM too?
I think the manual says min. PC-4200 / 533 MHz, but maybe I am lucky. If it
is possible to run it, what is the drawback?

Thanks in advance. :-)

Rgds.

It depends on the CPU that you use and the setup of the various clocks
and multipliers. PC3200 can probably be made to work but it will slow
the system down from what you would see with a faster memory.

Download the user manual.

The table in the "DRAM Frequency" description says that
DDR2-400 works with a CPU FSB of FSB533, FSB800, and FSB1066.
In the PDF I have on disk here, that is on page 92 (4-20).
So it should work, as long as it is not "registered" memory.
