Post by: ali20142014 on February 24, 2016, 11:54:08 AM

An old computer, Core 2 Duo E8400 with an FSB of 1333Mhz, is it compatibl with 4Gb RAM DDR2 800Mhz? I mean the FSB is not the same for the RAM.

Greetings!
Just as Patio says, we need a little more information about the machine. GRanted it is a Core 2 Duo, one can assume its DDR2.

HOWEVER there where some machines that had core 2 Duo's that did indeed have DDR3 1066Mhz. Granted these are rare, but you need to be sure so that you dont do any damage to the board or the RAM.

Please offer us the model number of the board and or manufacturer and model number of the computer if it is a name brand. Ie (Acer, HP, Asus, Toshiba...etc)
