T Trifid Fully Optimized Messages 4,010 Jul 29, 2006 #5 It will work. RAM works at the slowest sticks speed, so timmings and RAM speed will be underclocked to the slowest one/s. On old motherboards there was a risk, but now - especially with the memory controller on AMDs CPU there is next to no 'risk'.
