489228 2006-10-04 22:10:00 i have just bought a 2nd computer. just a cheap one so i now have 2 pc's. the cheap new pc i bought only has 256mb of sdram and the ram is single sided sdram. I want to buy a 512mb double sided sdram to replace the 256mb of single sided sdram. Will this work? Can the bios and motherboard handle this double sided sdram?

P.S

Nothing in the motherboard manual about single or double sided ram. just says it takes sdram

Usually for older computers double sided was best.
