RDRAM question

[Jonny69]

Bit of a noob with RDRAM here. The system has two 64Mb RIMMs installed, can I add two 128Mb modules to the other two slots or do all 4 have to be the same?

Also a quick speed question. I have no idea what the current RDRAM is running at, 600 or 800Mhz, except it's a P4 system from around 2000 to 2001. If I get the higher of the two speeds will it work at the lower speed like SDRAM and DDR?

Cheers

RDRAM is the skanks, if you have access to (one of) the sticks post the details, that will make it easier to determine whether your heinous plan will work or not.

I see

I can't do that unfortunately as the machine isn't mine. Was hoping it would be like PC100 vs PC133, damn its eyeballs.

I must say though, it acts like a machine that has more than 128Mb RAM, I was surprised.

RDRAM rocked ... awesomely fast stuff in its day

unfortunately, it costed a small fortune (and still does) which was its downfall

a p3 with RDRAM is an awesome combination, stacks up surprisingly well against a low speed p4 with DDR

Alas, you get the same performance with SDRAM with a P3, they just can't use the bandwidth.
