Hardware / New Guy/Ram Question
« on: August 09, 2004, 08:48:40 AM »
Hi guys and gals, I'm the big newb to the forum. Anyhow got a question on ram choices.
Currently I have 512mb DDR(266) 2100. Bascially I'm thinking about upgrading to 768 and need a few tips. I saw that my motherboard can handle pc 2700(333). If I want to upgrade to 2700 I believe I need to replace all my current ram with new 2700. If I decide to upgrade all of it will the 2700 make a decent difference or should I just throw in 1 stick of 512 2100 (giving me a total of 768). Also I saw that there were a few different types I know that my board takes DDR SDRAM but I also saw when looking to by one brand stating that this particualr type was DDR DRAM does this make a big difference. I'm not even sure if my board will accept the latter type.
Any advice, much appreciated.
