Can someone confirm this with me?

Question

My board is 661FM2-LSR stated it supports DDR266/333/400.
But why on kingston site didn't stated it can support CL2.5 and hyperx on PC3200 400Mhz? Below are the modules found for my board.
128MB 333MHz DDR PC2700 DIMM CL2.5
256MB 333MHz DDR PC2700 DIMM CL2.5
512MB 333MHz DDR PC2700 DIMM CL2.5
1GB 333MHz DDR PC2700 DIMM CL2.5
128MB 400MHz DDR PC3200 DIMM 3-3-3
256MB 400MHz DDR PC3200 DIMM 3-3-3
512MB 400MHz DDR PC3200 DIMM 3-3-3
1GB 400MHz DDR PC3200 DIMM 3-3-3

I thought as long my board supports DDR400, it should be able to run on CL2.5, Cas2 and hyperx 400Mhz DDR?
Please advise thanks

Answer 1

CL2.5 is not CAS 2 RAMs which you know, therefore I can only say that the CL2 RAMs are meant for boards that handles o/c'ing well but not all mobos.
I for one has tried to go for CL2 RAMs but gave up the idea as I know that CL2.5 is stable and more than enough. Just don't go for CL3 RAMs.
Btw, if you want o/c'ing, higher speed RAMs will be much better and preferred to gain more MHz.
