    I purchased some ram today for my w3j and noticed it is 5400. The ram I currently have in my w3j is 5300. Will it just down clock the new ram to 5300 speeds? Will I notice a difference between that and 5300? Or would they run at the same speed?

    Thanks.

    There is no diffrence between the two. There is a calculation that will give you something like 5342 and companies either round it down to 5300 or up to 5400.
