Ddr - Ddr2

[Uplink]

Heya guys I have Two questions.

1) Is it possible to use DDR400 on a DDR2 board such as the NF590 AM2 setups or not.

 

2) I currently have the latest BIOS for the Lanparty NF590 SLi-M2R/G and with me Logitech G15 im not able to move around in the bios at all it almost like freezes up how would i fix that Thanks in advanced ~Uplink

1. Definitely not possible. DDR2 only.

 

2. The stock bios that originally shipped with the board has a lock up issue (dunno how they missed it...), flash to the one on DFI's website and that problem should go away. Double check yours is the latest...if it is try the Beta bios. If you still have an issue...try using a 'normal' ps/2 keyboard and see what happens.

DDR and DDR2 are separate technologies, and unless the motherboard / processor is specifically designed to use them, they are not interchangeable.

 

Use a PS2 keyboard...that is really the only failsafe way. I have a USB keyboard which I have an adapter and it works perfectly fine.

 

EDIT: Wow, Techno, you're fast

Sound's like a good recommendation to try for the keyboard

Not only are they different technologies but they also use different sockets; DDR=184pin and DDR2=240pin.
