Upgrade memory
I plan to upgrade RAM memory to 512MB. Current memory - DIMM DDR 333 (2.5)
184-pin. 2 memory slots. I want add 256MB to second slot. Is there any advantages to search memory from the same manufacturer I have already installed, or this really does not matter? I can no even determine their logo. regards. |

matched memory is preferable. If you buy one stick and it doesn't' work
you will need to buy another matching stick. Check at the crucial memory site for compatibility Arkebuzo wrote: I plan to upgrade RAM memory to 512MB.

Well if you cannot determin the installed memory manu and module, you cannot
match it. (DIMM DDR 333 (2.5) is not a model # "Arkebuzo" wrote in message ... "Bob I" wrote in message ... matched memory is preferable.

You don't necessarily have to buy the additional RAM from the same manufacturer, but it might simplify matters if that information can be easily determined. 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, 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 |

Is there any advantages to search memory from the same manufacturer I have already installed, or this really does not matter? Some particularly unlucky mismatches lead to hard to resolve stability problems. Also, having matched sticks can be a performance boost (dual channel). I can no even determine their logo. Download a system identification utility such as everest or aida32. In most cases, it will tell you who made it. In some cases down to serial number and week of manufacture At any rate, you will get more precise specs, in order to make a better match. |

Almost sure thing is to pull the current RAM module, and install the RAM module that meets your needs in capacity size, and suitable for your PC. Visit crucial.com -- Jonny |
