[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1798395, member: 110816"] Beyond just the speed, there are other things like refresh timing and so on. Generally, you can use faster RAM on a machine that works with slower RAM since the RAM can be accessed at the slower rate. But if there is a refresh timing mismatch, then you're going to have issues with memory corruption. For best (and ideal) performance, it is always good to use RAM that is meant for a machine machine across all aspects (bus speed, refresh timings, etc). [/QUOTE]
