    Hi all;

    Ok, I have this older mobo, it is a Gigabyte GA-8 RamBUS board, w/ P4 1.3 Williamette CPU.

    I have 2 sticks of Samsung 64mb 600's (noted on the memory as 600-53)
    I also have 2 sticks of Samsung 64mb 800's (noted on the memory as 800-45)

    Can I use all 4 sticks on the mobo together, or is there conflict. I don't know a lot about rambus as I normally stick to SDRAM and DDR.

    All help is appreciated.

    Cheers,

    Kali

    keep them as pairs, will probably run at slowest stick speed of 600

    Proprietary in nature is the only reason it failed. The RAM flew faster than DDR RAM.

    Yes, yes you guys we all know it was a failed format, but that isn't the point. :)..well not entirely.

    Anyone else with feedback?
