hardware/ram

[Dak]

Sorry; im a bit lost when it comes to hardware

 

Can someone tell me if getting two*256MB, pcp133 SDRAM cards will be ok, or will there be any problems/do i have to make sure i get the correct voltage/anything else

 

Here is some info about my PC:

Cheers muchly.

Yeah that will be fine... the easiest way to know that is because you are currently using PC133 RAM, so getting more of the same will work, because, well, it's what you're currently using which you know works!

 

I spose if you were really worried about it working you could ensure that the new RAM uses 3.3V or 2.9V because that is what your mobo supports.

That won't be a problem. You've just got normal SDRAM, so you don't have to contend with the different clock speeds and dual-channel configurations that you can get with DDR.

Cheers guys.

Words cannot express how happy I am that the sentance with the complicated terms included a clause that I dont need to understand them
