RAM type identifation request
Hello.
I bought the bottom ram thinking it would replace the top ram. But the slots were off just a liiiiitle bit. Please help! What RAM can I get that will replace the top ram. I want to find 512 to replace this 256MB module that's on top. I thought it was DDR 400 SDRAM. But when I ordered those, the notches were off. Could someone help me with precisely what I need to replace the RAM in the top of this picture? Thanks. http://209.180.204.251/ram/ram.jpg |

Looks like you bought a DDR2 module.

You need exactly what you quoted, a DDR400/PC3200 module. I'd go to
kingston.com and enter either your computer model or the motherboard model and go from there. I've used their memory configurator dozens of times and had only success. Bryce wrote: Hello.

Thanks. http://209.180.204.251/ram/ram.jpg 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: SiSoft's Sandra http://www.sisoftware.co.uk/index.ph...are_dl&lang=en Belarc Advisor http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html Unlimited Possibilities' AIDA32 http://forum.aumha.org/overflow/aida32.zip Also, Crucial Memory's web site (www.crucial.com) has a database to help to find the right RAM for your specific make and model computer and/or motherboard. -- Bruce Chambers Help us help you: http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -Benjamin Franklin Many people would rather die than think; in fact, most do. -Bertrand Russell |
