| 320954 | 2005-02-02 22:37:00 | I'm planning to add some more memory to my system. MB is Epox8k5a3+, with 256mb PC2700 (DDR333) ram. Not sure what brand it is, but from what I gather its not too important to match brands? I've found some Legend DDR333 Ram at two local places (Legends a good brand - right?), they're listed slightly differently (see below) - what if anything is the difference between these? 256Mb DDR-SD-Ram - PC-2700 (DDR333) - Legend (A Grade) (Lifetime Warranty) $75inc gst mur3200s5.brahms.2day.com and LEGEND 256MB DDR333 8cH DDR0010 $ 65.00inc gst L1664D36 www.tradepc.co.nz e.g. What does the "8cH DDR0010" mean? Thanks |

| 320955 | 2005-02-02 22:47:00 | Mixing of brands shouldn't be a problem... I had only 512Mb of DDR266 ram and after getting Half Life 2 my pc started to show it's age. So I bought and extra gig of ram (Legend DDR400 In two 512Mb sticks). They work well together... Actually too well. I wanted to remove my old DDR266 stick but my pc kept crashing... Keep in mind your new ram (should it be faster than you old) will only run at the speed of you slowest rated ram. But seeing that you are looking at DDR333 it shouldn't be a problem | Azrael (4666) | ||
| 320956 | 2005-02-03 03:37:00 | 8 cH probably means 8 memory chips i.e. the stick is made up of 8 chips The other number looks like it is just the retailers own part number. Probably both are effectively the same part. It can pay to buy from a retailer who is happy to take returns as there may be incompatability issues with your motherboard (rare though) |
