| 148942 | 2003-06-01 04:33:00 | Hi there :) I was wondering, if I swap a 256 SDRAM (PC133) with a 256 DDR266, would I be able to notice a difference with the performance ie playing BF:1942? I could swap/upgrade to a 512 DDR266...but I'm sure the ram prices would go cheaper sooner or later (i know its cheap right now, but still i reckon it could go cheaper soon, hopefully). So, would I be able to notice some difference while playing games or maybe during some programme loading? Thanks alot :) Jase Sen |

| 148943 | 2003-06-01 04:41:00 | The biggest question is can your motherboard take DDR RAM. Most motherboards take either SDRAM or DDR RAM, but some have separate slots for both. You might notice a difference, but it depends on what OS you're running, your motherboard, and your CPU |

| 148945 | 2003-06-01 05:37:00 | Some mobos (that support DDR and SDRAM) can only use 1 or the other. NOT both at the same time. And if your mobos is only for SD, you cant put DDR in, coz it's keyed differently, and wont fit |

| 148946 | 2003-06-01 06:14:00 | Yes, my motherboard can support DDR and SD rams . I'm running Win98Se and with a Duron 1 . 3Ghz . . . so would I feel a difference? If so, by how much . . . ? Thanks :) Jase Sen |
