RAM
« on: March 19, 2007, 07:33:04 pm »
Ok so i wanted to buy some new ram and i thought they were all the same until i went to the store and figured out there was like 20 types of ram such as ddrpc3200 ddrpc14...
so i was wondering how you figure out which type you need.
I looked at my MOBo and i didn't see anything. I also looked at the stock ram and it didn't say on the stick.
I have a  Dell 9200
intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU
6300 @ 1.86GHz.....
HELP?!?!?!

According to that you need DDR2 533 Desktop Memory. Usually you check the motherboard manual for the specifics. And IIRC, you can buy the faster DDR2's (667/800/1000) it'll just run at 533.

This is a great site to buy RAM from http://www.crucial.com/

They have a great system match up tool it also suggests memory.

I always suggest this site to my family so they don't bug me for simple upgrades.

"So, if I take the RAM out of one computer and put it in another, what happens to the data that was saved on it?.."
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

Clearly it is transported to the mainframe.

Shut your computer down, take a stick out, and count how many pins are on one side of it. We can go from there.

By the way, I can say beyond reasonable doubt that you're using DDR2.

No it wouldn't. 2 gb of RAM is recommended for a lot of things now.

512 is the requirement for base vista, IIRC.  If you upgrade to it you'll need at least 1g to not suck hardcore.
And like a fool I believed myself, and thought I was somebody else...
