Hey Gang,
I was recently given an old motherboard with cpu and ram already installed, the current specs are...
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-H55M-UD2H (With BIOS version F11)
CPU: i3 530
RAM: 1 x F3-12800CL9-2GBL, 1 x F3-10666CL9-4GBNT, 1 x F3-12800CL9-2GBRL, and 1 x F3-10666CL9-4GNT, ( I got those numbers using Easytune 6, so they may be off a bit).
Well, the poor sod of a thing just can't handle the load that I"m putting on it, so I've got an i7-875 ready to install, but when I started searching for RAM, I came up against the same old problem... Salespeople getting things frack to bunt.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that DDR3-???? is a speed designation, and PC3-???? is a standards designation... I keep seeing things like DDR3-19200... Has RAM really gotten up to 19.2GHz already??? I also see, (but not as often) PC3-2400, so is there a PC3-2400 standard out there?
It would be really handy to have a chart that shows both the speed and the standard so that newbies and old hands that have been out of the game for a while can tell what's what.
Have fun!
Radar =8^)
P.S. According to the mobo manual and Gigabyte's site, it has support for DDR3 2200+/1800/1600/1333/1066/800 MHz memory modules.
