    I have a Soltek, SL-85 mainboard only supporting 266MHZ. I have one memory stick of 256MB@266 in it. Can I put it together with a stick 256MB RAM@400? I would guess it would take the lowest one, so 266? I'm just a bit scared it would give conflicts.

    You can put both of them in but the one running at 400 would only run at 266 as your mobo only supports upto this.

    Thanks for the reply. I will put them together and see if it counts up. Than I will play Doom 3 as a test. If it doesn't give (memory) errors I think I can assume it works?

    Well you should run it for a week then if no problems it will most likely be ok. Try a few different games aswell.

    Everything seems to work. Doom 3 and Far Cry are playing better than before. Thanks.

    Well my opinion is the same as RedAnt. When starting to play, I was surprised by the gameplay. Very creepy and dark game. Another way of playing with that flashlight. I didn't finish yet, and it still don't bother me playing, but ...it's always the same...room in room out...
