Two different memory types on one motherboard
Hi

I installed two different sets of memory - one is pc2700 with a latency of 2.5, and the other pc2100 with the same latency. Will there be a problem with them running on one motherboard? How will the motherboard/bios handle it?

IF it runs, it will run at the speed of the slowest memory. It is possible one or the other will not be recognized.

I have two pc2100 sticks and one pc2700 stick on my computer. Runs fine, just at 266MHz ddr.

All of the memory is being recognised which is good

Also is the difference between a latency of 2.5 and 2.0 noticeable?

Think it's a bit hard to answer that question, if you notice it, yeah, if you don't, no.

I don't
