RAM QUESTION: pc-266, pc-333 etc.. im using pc2700

**guilliam** · 10-05-2004, 01:18 AM

escuse me if im not DOING MY ASSIGNEMENT here.. (havent gone much into google, since dont have time...)

my question to you guys.. what are the difference between the DDR RAMS na:

PC-266
PC-333
PC-400

wa ko kasabot ani.. (just being honest to my self.. ehehhe)

does it has any effects on performance/speed?? i THINK pwede man board nako until pc 400 tingali.. but the sticker in the ram im using now is PC 2700.. is this PC 2700 also diff from those pc266, pc333, pc400??

as im using pc2700.. it works perfectly naman.

btw.. im using asus p4v533mx na mother board. hope anyone can shed light to this.

266, 333, 400 means the speed that they are running on. PC2700, PC3200, etc represents their theoretical bandwidth... and yes, the higher the number the faster the speed or performance but your chipset must support its rated speed.

"theoretical bandwidth" -->

so this is diff from the pc266, pc333, pc400

or its teh same but its the bandwidth of the ram.. let me say.. as the sticker in my ram says: pc2700, it could also be pc400 as well?? the speed is pc400 but the abndwidth is pc2700?? is my contentions correct?? or its all for the speed/performance, like the one im using now which is pc2700 is way faster than pc400??

hmmnn.. im confused.. but thatnk master beor for the enlightenment..

OT:: can a CELERON proc be overclocked??

**BeoR** · 10-05-2004, 02:42 AM

DDR-333 is equivalent to PC2700, DDR-400 = PC3200

OT: yes a Celeron can be overclocked just like any other processor

**guilliam** · 10-05-2004, 04:17 AM

"DDR-333 is equivalent to PC2700, DDR-400 = PC3200 " --> its multiplied by "8"

333 x 8 = 2664
400 x 8 = 3200

is my contetions correct.. i can see the light now.

very great help!!!

honestly I have no idea how they came up with the numbers since those are never achieved in the real world...

nice... thanks for the info

PCxxxx / 8 = DDRxxx (Nearest Ram Speed)

sample

PC3200 = DDR400
PC2700 = DDR333
PC2100 = DDR266

PC

? = DDR

?

the concept is the same as expressing your 1 peso into cents:
100,00cents = 1000pesos

PC

? is expressed in bits (binary digit) while DDR

in byte (binary term)

the "pc" represents clock speed of ram, while the higher number represents bandwidth.
