Re: memory upgrade for Intel 845GLAD motherboard
you can use 333Mhz RAM chip.
But it will work at 266Mhz speed only.The higher frequency RAM will underclock automatically to match lower frequency .

Does it cause any problem to motherboard or performance?
My motherboard FSB is 400MHz.

It should not.........but before buying just give a try.
your RAM frequency will underclock to your old RAM frequency.Thus it will work at lower frequency only.

Re: memory upgrade for Intel 845GLAD motherboard
IMO....
if you can then sell off the 256 mb ram u have , and...
get any 1 GB DDR RAM u can find, be it DDR 400 or lower...
it will work in your pc ...

Nopes...Sidewinder was right.Manufacturer do matter ! As the same manufacturer will probably use same kind of ram chips in its productline it will help to avoid conflict !
When you are mixing RAMs of different frequency it is always advisable to go for the same manufacturer !
