Mixing memory of different types and latencies is not particularly a good idea. But you can often make them work together if you must and if you know what you are doing. If they are in the same bank, then you would likely have to override the detected memory settings in your CMOS. In that case, you'd usually have to use all the worst timings of the two (larger numbers). In this case, you'd have to use a latency of 5. This might be listed as CL or CAS if your motherboard will let you manually set the timings.
However, there is an exception. If you are also mixing speeds, you would have to use the slower speed. But if the faster memory has a higher latency, you might still get by with the lowest latency of the two. If you overclock memory, the latency gets worse, so if you underclock it, it gets better. The latency number is calculated by the rated speed, but it is measured by clock cycles, not by time. It would make more sense to end users to measure the latency by some time unit, but the memory controller has to know how many clock cycles to wait. You would likely need to convert the latency to nanoseconds. One formula is:
(CL/(Freq-in-MHZ) * 1000) = speed in ns
For DDR, remember to half the chip's label frequency. This formula will allow you to compare latencies, and if you reverse the process, you should be able to generate new compatible latencies if you must use the memory at a different frequency from the rated. If you must round latencies, go higher.
What else can I help you with?
Which is faster cl3 or cl5?
CL3 the lower the value the better
Which is faster cl5 or cl6 memory?
CL: (CAS Latency) or Column Address Strobe Latency is a measurement of delay of the chip's process. So the lower the CL number the lower the latency will be. So your answer is cl5.
Which is faster CL3 memory or CL5 memory?
cl3 CL - CAS Latency (column access strobe) refers to the number of clock cycles taken to read or write a column of data off a memory module. The lower the latency, the faster the read/write. RL - Row access strobe Latency (RAS Latency), similarlly, measures cycles taken to read\write a row of data.
A dimm memory ad display 5-5-5-15. what is the cas latency value of this dimm?
CL5
What is a memory performance measurement in which the lower the number the better the performance?
CL RATING EX. CL2 is better than CL3 and Cl1 would be the best
Is cl3 a compound?
Cl3 is the chemical formula for chlorine gas, which is a compound made up of chlorine atoms.
Mixing unbuffered memory with buffered or registered memory will work but is not recommended?
FALSE
Why is Cl3 stronger than H3?
The compound Cl3 does not exist (did you mean chlorate?). Triatomic hydrogen H3 does exist however but is an unstable molecule.
Will mixing unbuffered memory with buffered memory work?
the simple answer is no and ECC will not work on alot of MOBO's
What is the chemical formula of the compound that contains three chlorine atoms?
The chemical formula of the compound with three chlorine atoms is Cl3, known as trichloride.
What's the difference with a cl5 file?
A CL5 file is a file used with Roxio Easy CD Creator (a program for burning files to disc). Now, you would have to specify what exactly you would want to compare it to, as you question is incomplete.
Can you use Kingston 1gb ram 5300 cl5 200-pin dimm for a toshiba a60 155 laptop?
No, you cannot use a DDR-2 5300 memory module in a Toshiba Satellite A60 or A65 laptop. This module will not fit into the slot. You can install up to 1GB memory module into the expansion slot, but it has to be DDR memory, not DDR2. Here's what you can use: PC2700 (DDR333) module: 256MB, 512MB or 1GB.
