A user's device needs more memory, so a technician installs extra RAM with the following specifications:

2 x 8Gb DDR3-1066 (PC3-8500)
1 x 16Gb DDR3-1333 (PC3-10600)

Which of the following speeds would maximize reliability?

  • A. 1,066
  • B. 1,333
  • C. 8,500

Selected Answer: A
I might be misunderstanding question, but it is recommended to use the same speed memory. All memory will only run at speed of the slowest modules which is 1066. I think answer should be A. 1066

Selected Answer: B
B. 1,333 When installing RAM modules with different specifications, the system will typically operate at the speed of the slowest module. In this case, the slowest module is the 8GB DDR3-1066 (PC3-8500), which has a speed of 1,066 MHz. Therefore, to maximize reliability, the system should be configured to operate at the speed of 1,333 MHz, which corresponds to the 16GB DDR3-1333 (PC3-10600) module.

I am sorry, but no. You want the two RAM modules to run at the lowest common speed, in which is A.1066 MHz

Selected Answer: A
In a scenario where multiple RAM modules with different speeds are installed, the system tends to operate at the speed of the slowest module to ensure compatibility and stability. In this case, the DDR3-1066 (PC3-8500) module is the slowest among the installed RAM. So, the speed that would maximize reliability is: A. 1,066

What is your reasoning for Answer A ??

You use the RAM module with the lowest common speed, and since 1066MHz is the lowest; you will choose that.

I think A is the answer: Matching the slowest RAM module: When installing different RAM modules with different speeds, the system will typically operate at the speed of the slowest module. This is done to ensure compatibility and stability.
