603571 2007-10-20 22:40:00 Hi, I want to upgrade the RAM in my PC and have scanned it with the little tool from crucial.com. It tells me that I have two slots, one with 512 MB DDR PC3200, the other is empty.
According to the specs that came with the computer the RAM is DDR 400. Is it the same thing, and can I just buy and install 1 GB of the DDR PC3200 in the empty slot?

603572 2007-10-20 22:49:00 Yup, PC3200 is DDR400.

It depends on how much ram the motherboard supports.

Has it only got 2 slots?? It'll either support 1 GB or 2 GB.

If it supports 1 GB, then no, you cant use 1 512 mb stick and a 1 GB stick.

What version of Windows, is installed?

Whats the brand / model of this computer?

603573 2007-10-20 23:17:00 Yes, it has two slots only, and the specs say it can be upgraded to 2 GB.

It is a PC made by Millenium Technology NZ and has an Intel CeleronD 2.66Ghz.

I am running WinXP Home Edition.
Thank you for your reply
