A simple little question about PC RAM Memories

[12p]

So, I'm going to buy a new RAM card for the empty slot I have on my PC (will have 2 GB DDR1 woohoo!!! ). Its speed is 333 MHz. My other one is 166 MHz (poor card).

So... If I'm right, the speed of both will be 166 MHz once I installed the 333 MHz one. It is true? Or will work each independent from the other (2 different RAM speed's)?

They will perform at the lowest common demoninator.

DDR1 is the most expensive, DDR2 is most cheaper, but i prefer DDR3.

CapY, you cant just use DDR2 or 3 on a PC thar uses DDR1. Your CPU and motherboard have specific requirements. Also, DDR3 is even cheaper than DDR2 nowadays.

Also, why wasting your money on new DDR1 RAM, while you better can save up some money, and eventually buy a cheap dual/triple core PC with DDR3? It's cheaper as CapY said; but the most important thing is that it's MUCH faster. Clocks between 1066 and 1333 MHz are normal for DDR3, while DDR1 hardly gets 500.

The price of some new DDR1 memory is higher than some simple dualcores nowadays, so I personally wouldn't reccomand buying DDR1 memory.

In my country it doesn't work that way, Remi-X.

Uhm, yes forgot to mention that.

I bought 8GB (4x2GB) of Corsair DDR2-800 1.8v RAM for $30 after rebates and the cost of stamps. Now the same kit isn't even being sold on Newegg. 4GB of DDR1 is $62 on Newegg currently. Ridiculous.

2x4 GB Corsair Vengeance CL9 1600 MHz, for €42 here (roughly $50). Two pieces, way more speed, and a cool look. DDR2 isn't that expensive indeed, but the price/performance on DDR3 is higher than of DDR2.

My stepbrother bought also some DDR1 kit, which was 1 or 2 GB, dont remember, but it was worth €40. Now thats insane

In my country, Chile, a 2GB DDR2 (533 MHz) RAM costs about 35 bucks.

[botanist]

You could buy it from some website of another country then. Even with shipping included it might be cheaper.

[12p]

Maybe, but I don't own a credit card and my Paypal account has -10 dollars (lol)

[CapY]

And my Paypal account has -10 dollars (lol)

Well done.
