Because different processors and chipsets don't all support the same bus speed.

Can you mix DDR300 with DDR330 memory?

It depends on the capabilities of the motherboard. Some motherboards require that all RAM cards operate at the same speed, while others don't. In cases where differing speeds are allowed, all RAM cards operate at the speed of the slowest card, however.


Can you use ram with different speed in single motherboard at different sloti.e Ram 333mhz with 256mb and 512mb Ram with speed of 400mhz.?

Depending on what your motherboard can handle, all the RAM (regardless of clockspeed) will clock to the same speed.


Components that must use the same front side bus speed?

motherboard and cpu


Can you utilize the DDR-SDRAM and the SDRAM slots on your motherboard at the same time in order to gain more speed?

No.


Can you use both ddr1 ddr2 ram in a same motherboard if yes in which motherboard mention the brand model?

No motherboard i have ever heard of has been able to do that. And if your trying to get one that can your going to be paying somone alot of money to make you a special kind of motherboard which i dont even know if you can. As in you would be better off buying a new motherboard that is 5x better or so for the same price or maby even cheaper. Hope this helped :)


How can you tell if a memory card is high speed?

All memory cards should be designated to operate at the same speed no matter the device.


Why dont birds end up at the same destination if they are flying exactly the same speed at all times?

Because they dont go to the same way


3 factors to consider when choosing memory?

Standard (DDR, DDR2, DDR3 as it must be the same as your motherboard) Speed (800, 1066, 1333 again must match the motherboard for optimization, can't exceed it) Size/capacity (GBS, # of sticks)


Will happen if 333MHz memory is inserted into a motherboard that supports 400MHz memory?

Usually, it will work, but will slow down the entire computer. Modern computers will automatically detect the speed rating of the memory and slow down the system to accommodate the slow memory. Some BIOSes require you to specify the speed of the memory in the setup utility. However: You will need to read up on the specifics of your particular motherboard and BIOS to avoid the possibility of damaging either the motherboard or the memory. If the motherboard does not adjust its speed to the slower memory, you are essentially attempting to "overclock" your memory. Sometimes you may not see any issues, but usually, the memory will overheat and fail (permanently damaging it), or at the least, the computer's memory will become unreliable. Often, memory is installed in pairs of SIMMs. It is rarely a good idea to mix different speeds of memory on the same motherboard. It is even worse to mix different speeds of memory in a single pair of slots. Attempting this will probably make your computer not work. No matter what speed of memory you choose to use, it is highly recommended to purchase all the memory that will be placed on the same motherboard, at the same time, from the same vendor, and of the same type.


Does the heatsink serve the same purpose as tha fan in the BTX motherboard?

No , it servers as the fan for the CPU on the motherboard , this can be done with any motherboard


Is it possible to put a amd processor in place of an Intel?

No, it is not possible to substitute an AMD processor for an Intel processor on the same motherboard. The two processors use different types of mounting sockets, so they are incompatible. It would be akin to trying to put an alternator from a Ford into a Toyota. If you want to move to AMD, you would need to replace both the processor and the motherboard, possibly the RAM as well (depending on whether the new motherboard uses the same speed and type of RAM as the old motherboard).


Can a motherboard that supports up to 900MHz use a 1GHz CPU with it?

If there are newer processors in the same product range as the 900 MHz model, and they use the same socket and FSB (Front Side Bus) speed, then yes, you probably can.Without knowing your specific motherboard model, though, it would be impossible to determine if this is the case for you.
