DDR RAM backward compatible?
Are DDR RAMs backward compatible?
For example, could I use PC2700 as PC2100?
( My motherboard, ECS K7S5A Pro, only supports PC1600 and PC2100. Could I install PC2700 on this motherboard?)

Thanks!

Jim

You can go as high as you like all the way up to PC4000 but it will only run @ PC2100 speeds if that is all your mobo supports.

It should be fine. It will run as pc2100 (or at whatever you set the mem timing).
Cheers.
