You can buy faster memory, but it will not run any faster than your motherboard's BUS speed. Motherboards have the same BUS speed for all memory slots. So you can buy the faster rated memory, but it will run at the same speed as your other memory chips. |

You sure can. I've got some PC4400 for sale if you want some. Corsair CMX512-4400C25PT.
These: www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145551. Make me an offer. |

Thanks, I was just going to put the same stuff (PC-3700) in but it doesn't seem to be as available anymore.

if you do decide to upgrade your ram i would get the same speed or higher(so in this case 3700 or higher) I would try to get the same named brand memory and the same CL speed, definition link
othe wise it could lead to system instability |

Rule of thumb is to match memory.
If you are running a MB that uses dual channel memory (one or more paired DIMMs), you HAVE to use matched memory in order to take advantage of the performance increase. |

Most recently produced memory chips (in the last 4 years or so) are perfectly happy running at a lower clock speed. In the old days with all the different types of memory matching brand and so forth was important, but today things are pretty much standardized so that it is less of a concern. |

My children & I built a comptuer on a MSI mother board, and right in the insturction manual it says that you can use two different memory speeds but the systems will operate only on the slowest one.
