Why might you not mind using slower memory if faster memory is available for a marginal price?

The first reason is that your computer may not be able to run at the speed of the faster memory, so there would be no benefit.
The second may be if the computer is not compatible with the faster memory.
Depending on the design of the motherboard, some computers cannot take memory faster than they are designed for. In theory, faster memory is supposed to be programmed with the settings to run at the slower speed, but the settings are not always correct, and the faster RAM may still cause a problem with the memory controller of the computer.

Why would you use a slower memory in MHz if a faster memory is available for a marginal price?
They had a mental break down and died
Why might you not mind using slower memory if faster memory is available for marginal price difference?
Not all memory frequencies are supported by all motherboards. If your motherboard only supports 800/1066/1333, buying 1600s just because they are only $10 more probably wouldn't be smart. Those Hardware labs boring you, yet?

Generally faster memory (RAM) is always desirable. Many computers have more than the user really needs or uses, but it does no harm to have it. As the available programs and options increase, having more available memory is an advantage, especially if you run more than one program at a time. When a computer is "multi-tasking, it is not really doing two or more things at the same time. It is actually racing back and forth between the tasks. But computers do this so fast that we poor humans think it's all happening simultaneously.
What do you call running a memory chip slower than it was intended to run?
Running a memory chip faster than it was intended (used most often) is called over-clocking. So, if you run a memory chip slower than it was intended it could be called under-clocking.
Does the computer run slower if the machine runs faster?
No If the computer runs faster then it runs faster not slower
Differences between flash memories and CD RWs?
Flash memory - solid state memory, has faster access speed CD-RW - optical media, slower access speed
Give two reasons why caches are useful?
It minimizes the miss match between the main memory and the processor Actually, there is one reason for a cache to exist: speed. A cache exists to speed up the time that the processor takes to obtain a bit of data. Typically, main memory is many times slower than the processor - in modern computers, it can be 1000 times slower. So, caches are made up of memory more expensive and faster than main memory, to store parts of main memory in, in the hopes that the data the processor wants will be available in the cache.
Is the Venus faster then the or slower then the earth?
faster
What is the difference between dragging a file from the c drive to your flash drive and dragging it from the c drive to the desktop?
Dragging it to the flash memory usually means copying it to a memory which is slower and can be portable.The desktop memory however is faster than flash memory but sadly not portable.
Does the size of a dog matter if it run faster or slower?
no. It matters how old it is. No matter if it runs faster or slower.
