| 404461 | 2005-11-15 18:02:00 | Anyway, All i want to know is how can you check the voltage of the ram running on MY pc? It is better to buy your RAM by specification rather than voltage, you are starting your search from the wrong end. Identifying your motherboard would identify the type of RAM it uses, and identifying the type of RAM will identify the voltage. Knowing the price in Ireland lets us make an informed judgement about relative pricing for that RAM from sources cheaper than the US. Supplying information and being polite on PF1 will get you heaps of very skilled help and could save you making a bad buying decision. However, it is your money and your computer so you get to choose whether you waste your time or your money, or both. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 404463 | 2005-11-15 20:43:00 | Yes i know, and i wasnt mouthing off, it was Prescott who started an attack on me, he didnt even attempt to answer my question just replied with "is $60 or $70 too expensive for a stick of 512 DDR pc 3200 ram?" which wasnt helpful in any way, and neither was "bleh n00b" Over 2000 posts or not i dont see how he was correct in sayin that, but its over now so forget it. Your asumming i know zero about ram etc, i know a little, i wasnt buying ram just buy voltage, as i said im going to buy it from America as its cheaper, but if i get the wrong one i wont be able to send it back, so i wanted to make sure everything was correct ie, voltage and pc3200 speed. i was priced 85 euro for 512ddr pc3200 here and i looked it up on the net and it was alot cheaper but i noticed there was different voltages and again, i didnt want to get the wrong voltage, so i asked here how i could check my ram voltage thats all i wanted Billy :) Thank you roddy, ill search for that now.

| 404464 | 2005-11-15 21:11:00 | No assumptions were made by me Etnies, but you seem to have made a few yourself. The voltage for your RAM will be determined by your motherboard specs. If they say either voltage you are home and hosed, however if the mobo requires the higher voltage and you buy the lower (or vice-versa) you might have a problem. In might not matter at all, but since you are planning to buy from overseas and cannot return the goods, I imagine you would want to get it right first time. Cheers Billy 8-{) :) Incidentally, 85 Euros is about $NZ140 and it looks like 512 DDR PC3200 RAM in NZ is about half that price, at $60 to $70 depending on where you buy it.

| 404465 | 2005-11-16 02:29:00 | If you want more info on DDR go to www.4allmemory.com If you are getting 184-pin DDR be very careful that the offset notch matches in the module and holder. It can be inserted 180 deg out and the latches will almost go home with resultant unwanted hot plastic smells as your mobo suffers a possible life termination. |
