There is a laptop that has a problem. The 2 Ram chips are not the same brand
and that is why it probably widows freezes when playing games.
The bios of the laptop does not provide any settings for the ram, so I was
wondering if there is a software that will slow down the speed of the ram
so that it can be more stable.

Any one know of such a program?

Thanks in advance

You can not slow down ram.

Not I. However, you might try reversing the slots in
which your ram modules are installed (i.e., install each
one in the other slot). That way, the BIOS might set
the speed to the SPD value in the slower module.

You can mix RAM chips from different makers, you can't mix chips of
different types. One, or both, of the chips could be faulty.

Theoretically you are correct, however my experience shows that this is not
always true...

The bios is probably using the slower RAM for reference for CL ticks. The
slower is causing minor coordinations with the faster RAM.

There is no software solution.

It is absolutely essential that any new RAM module(s) be fully
compatible with both the motherboard and/or any other RAM module(s)
already in the system. Additionally, there are sometimes jumper
switches on older motherboards that need to be reset for new RAM
configurations. Consult your motherboard's manual or the manufacturer's
web site for specific instructions and compatibility requirements.

If you cannot lay your hands upon the computer's manual and the
manufacturer doesn't provide a support web site, you can use these
utilities to help determine the correct type of RAM needed:

computer and/or motherboard.

I didnt want to tell how this happened.. but... here is the story....

The different ram was installed by the people who where in charge of the
service
while it was still in warrantee! It was their blundering error... but I
could not imagine
that they could do such a stupid mistake.. so I did not check that when that
laptop
got stuck in games... I thought it was something else. But after I recently
formated it
and installed windows again and the problem persisted! So then I knew
something
was wrong with the hardware. Unfortunatly Everest and other programs do not
show
any info for the individual ram chips. I have tried it.
I would take it back even if it was out of warrantee.. but those guys who
had the service
of this perticular brand closed and no longer exsist! (it is a local brand
that exists only in this country). The new
ones would not take the responsibility for the actions of the old people,
so I didnt even try asking. So I am stuck with 2 different chips.

The solution is either to get net identical chips. But that is costly since
ram for laptops is not cheap.

By the way this is not my laptop.. but a relative of mine. If it was in my
hands all the time I would have pinpointed the problem in a matter of days
since.
