Can anyone help me i have 2 pcs at the moment both running XP, but one of them only has 128mb memory and is REALLY slow, i want to upgrade it, but what type do i need, i have taken the memory out and it is the sort with 2 little notches and is 168 pin. Anyone help?
check this, to identify your RAM Edit: how old are the systems ? cos 168 pin RAM will be expensive, DDR will probably be cheaper, but 184 pin RAM will not fit into 168 pin sockets just a guess but i would think PC100 RAM will probably work XP probably needs reinstalling, how old are the systems ?
Well it says on the memory currently in there KVR133X64/128 so i guess that means its PC133 yeh so 133 mhz speed?? It looks like this but with only 4 little black boxes instead of 8.
Also im not going to buy off ebay but would this memory fit?? eBay.co.uk: 256Mb SDRAM PC133 STRIP (item 220034856010 end time 08-Oct-06 19:45:00 BST)
Yup, you got it. PC133 SDRAM is what you want more of. It will be a little tougher to find a good selection of, but SDRAM is the only stuff you can use. DDR or DDR2 will not work, not to mention they're keyed differently and use lower voltages than SDRAM.
there should be no problem, cos i think that memory types have only got so confusing with the introduction of DDR, so i think you just need some PC133 (i was wrong, sorry) i think that RAM will work though
Im going to reinstall windows on the one that is slow and also get a graphics card for it as it currently using onboard graphics!!! Also i have been looking about and it says that any memory will fit it that is the 168 pin ones but not one that is ecc registered.
I also had some problems finding cheap SD RAM, although theres much less demand for them, supply has completey stopped so they're expensive even on eBay.
