Summary
Information on the frequency of DRAM when using different DIMMs speed in a motherboard
Description
Need to know if the RAM frequency will change when installing more DIMMs on a motherboard.
Resolution
The frequency will not change when using the same compatible memory speed in a motherboard. If the speed is mixed then the motherboard will downgrade to the lowest frequency of the supported DIMMs.
Make sure that DRAMs are compatible with the processor and the motherboard.
Refer to your motherboard vendor for DRAM information and support.
