    ok im haveing a problem with high speed games EX.(call of duty 4) if i run the game at any thing more than min. graphics settings the game runs for a short time then system closes out and restarts and i get a message saying memory exhausted so i decided well easy fix ill just put in a few more mem. chips to fix the problem. well while checking out mem chip sets i found a set of chips for pretty cheep cheeper than the stock set in the system now i listed it below.
    Memory Size: 1024MB
    Memory Speed: 800MHz PC6400
    Memory CAS Latency: 5-5-5-12
    Memory Type: DDR2
    Pins: 240
    but my system came with ddr2 x2 1024MB 533MHz PC4200.
    can i use PC6400 and PC4200 at the same time or just one type at a time?
    and if i did change all over to the PC6400 would that give me any advantages over useing the PC4200 because of the 800mhz vs 533mhz or will the system not use full advantage of the ex. MHz with out overclocking the FSB? (this is with out overclocking my system just mem change) well if anyone can answer this question it would be a lot of help thnks!

    Re: problem with games - - - PC 6400 RAM chips

    Did this up grade in faster, pc6400, RAM help with your gaming on your GM2560?
    I ordered 4 gigs of 6400 RAM, or am about to.
    Thank you,
