Re: [opensuse] Memory Question?

Hello list members, this is probably not the right place to ask, but
maybe some guru can answer it for me.

I just ordered a new ASUS M2NPV-VM motherboard, it supports 4 x
240-pin DIMM, support max. 8GB DDR2 800/667/533 ECC and
non-ECC,un-buffered memory. Ok, here is my question. I am looking at
purchasing memory for it and I see DDR2 667 PC2-5300 and DDR2
PC2-5400, both of the memory kits are dual channel 2 x 1GB sticks,
what is the difference between PC2-5300 and PC2-5400, both are running
at 667 Mhz?

Thanks in advance.


The only difference between the 5300 & 5400 is maximum speed. If 5300
works OK then that's all you need. What does the mom board manual
specify? Also, whenever working with memory, it's always a good idea to
run memtest before and after installing, to see if any problems appear.
Memtest is available by booting from the install CD or DVD. It can also
be installed with Yast.
