| 196520 | 2003-12-02 08:55:00 | Thinking of getting some more ram for my system, only problem is, I dont understand half of it. I currently have 256mb DDR 266mhz, Would I be able to put another 256mb, but 333mhz in? Then just tell them both to got at 266mhz? Just looking at the QMB, Samsung RAM, and it has a whole load if funny stuff to me. Unbuffered ? 16C(32Mx8) ? 8C (32Mx8) ? Is it best to buy those retail packs? Thanks |

| 196521 | 2003-12-02 09:43:00 | Use the same type of ram which sounds like it is PC2100. Aida32 is a very good program to tell you all about your PC. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 196522 | 2003-12-02 17:12:00 | you can use 'faster' ram quite happily it'll just 'clock down' automatically to the speed of the slower stuff | drcspy (146) | ||
| 196523 | 2003-12-02 22:23:00 | Sometimes mix and match doesn't work though hence my advice to use the same type of ram. I recently bought 512MB of PC2100 to go with the 256 I already had and while the bios and a memory checker program I had had no problem Win2k would not boot. One stick or the other and no problems. Slacked me off as I would have been happy with 768MB. So I actually have a 256MB PC2100 stick going ( $ ) if anyone wants it . |

| 196525 | 2003-12-02 23:13:00 | Hey, I wouldnt mind that. How much are you looking for ? | mejobloggs (264) | ||
| 196526 | 2003-12-03 00:48:00 | Hi there Gordon. I do get over to Wellington occasionaly. I wouldn't want to swap for the reason above. Having just had a quick look on trademe I would be happy with $40. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 196527 | 2003-12-03 00:50:00 | $40 Where do you live. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 196528 | 2003-12-03 03:12:00 | Whangaparaoa. I can pass though, it looks like kiwibeat wants it. $40 is too much for me, as then I have to add on $50 or something, because my computer is still under warranty, so I have to take it in. Thanks anway |
