670 470 memory type speed

[mmoses]

I have a precision 670 and 470. I have read on this forum that they will use 400 or 533 speed ddr2. Is this fact documented somewhere ? I have tried 533 sticks and both systems refuse to recognize them. I also tried all combinations, they just will not work. They are  2GB 2Rx4 PC2-4200R-444-12-J1. Any help or insight will be appreciated. Thanks

They use the same memory.  The links provided are for memory guaranteed compatible with your worksatations.  I suspect you've been using off-spec memory.

Is it registered memroy? The 670 & 470 only support this type of memory

Can anyone answer the question. I already know where to buy memory and the type of memory in question is clearly noted. Thanks in advance.

mmoses,

All we validated on these PCs was 400MHz memory.
