Can i mix 5300 and 6400 memory

Adding more memory to your PC is one of the best and easiest ways to improve system performance. DDR4 memory is the latest generation of memory for computing applications and offers many benefits over previous generations of memory including lower latencies, higher speeds, and more.

One thing to keep in mind is that memory needs to be the same type - memory modules are not forward or backward compatible in terms of generation types so DDR3 will not work in DDR2 or DDR4. Memory is designed to be backward compatible within its generation, so generally speaking, you can safely add faster memory to a computer that was designed to run slower memory.

However, your system will operate at the speed of the slowest memory module installed. Rather than give memory modules catchy names, the industry refers to modules by their specifications. But if you don't know a lot about memory, the numbers can be confusing.

Here's a short summary of the most popular types of memory and what the numbers refer to. Firstly, will the extra ram make a big difference? Specs are below. Or do i need to get pc to match? Theoretically it should work, although at the lower of the 2 speeds. What are the RAM timings of your previous modules? It's never really recommended to mix modules but since you're sticking to the same manufacturer and hopefully the same timings , it should be OK. I'm not sure how I would find out the timings of the original RAM Also, do you think the extra 2gb would make a noticeable difference?

Thanks for your reply! Hi korrupt, a vast majority of the time that that mix will work. When running a program like CAD the more RAM the better even if you will not be able to realize the full 4gb as 'working memory'. Similar threads.
