Re: Different Memory

Okay, if you can't figure out what the hell the above post means, let me answer simply.

Chipsets which support two types of memory, for example, SDR SDRAM and DDR SDRAM or DDR SDRAM and DDRII SDRAM cannot run both types simultaneously. You can only populate one type, populating the other will cause a no POST or simply re-route to the faster module type.
