| 204275 | 2003-12-30 23:08:00 | I have a Gigabyte GA7VAX1394 motherboard based on the VIA KT400 chipset. I'm currently running 512MB of DDR266 with an Athlon XP2000+ on it. However, I want to take those out and drop in a 512MB stick of Transcend DDR400 and an Athlon XP 2400 or 2600+. I've read through my motherboard manual but it says that I can only use certified sticks of DDR400 and they don't state anything about a 512MB stick being certified for use. If I buy the parts and put them into my PC will the RAM work with the board? Or is there another brand of RAM that someone knows will work with the board? |
