Err does 1600Mhz RAM works with 1800Mhz+ RAMS?

[Croazil]

YES I am not very good at these things so need help!!!

Will 1600Mhz RAMS be compatible with 1800+ RAMS?

If it does will it make any difference?
If it doesnt why not?

Thanks free rep from me for ur time.

Yes,as long as the motherboard supports it,but all modules must be the same type.you can add higher speed modules, they just won't run at their full speed.

So ther 1800Mhz+ will run at 1600Mhz if paired with them?

So long as they have the same CAS latency, timings, and recommended voltage,your motherboard would probably just automatically underclock the faster one.Having said that I wouldn't really recommend mixing ram, as there's no guarantee it wont cause problems & ram is pretty cheap.

1 more question the rams will work well even if different brand but same Mhzs?

I've used different brands of memory with no problems,but as I said,there's no guarantee.

personally i'd stick with all the same, only because i like to look at my pc and it would annoy the hell out of me, if my ram didnt match!
