So dad is looking to upgrade his desktop, apparently 256K just dosen't get it done in 2K11. I thought this would be simple, hit up the Shack and throw him a 2-GIG, but alas not. Pops is rocking the OG DDR RAM and it's not exactly like getting a new engine for your 56 Chevy. So, any ideas?
 
I got a 256mb one, Samsung. It says DDR on it but is there a way to tell the difference between DDR2 and that? If DDR2 would work, I have a Crucial 1GB one and probably some others in my LAN PC.
 
get it from an online source such as newegg or tigerdirect
you will pay a lot less there then you would from an actual store like best buy staples or the sack
 
let me know what the board can handle, or copy the spec off the existing RAM. i have a shit ton here i could sell you for next to nothing.
 
Kev: DDR2 does not work in a DDR machine, the gap in the pinset is in a different place. Turbo: 2, 1GIG chip would be ideal, but let know what you have via PM and we'll figure something out.
 
Hmm. .. my comp has been slower than shit too.. maybe I need an upgrade as well.. dell dimension 3000
 
and eg6sir... your Dell Dimension 3000 takes the same RAM (again can handle 2 1GB sticks) so that link works for you too
 
I'll let you guys know tomorrow when I'm at the office.
 
so far ive been able to dig up 1 512mb stick of pc2100 266mhz unbuffered and a pair of Dell 1GB PC3200 DDR-400MHz Non-ECC Unbuffered 184-Pin DIMM

theres a whole nother box to sort through, but there is only pc100/133 in this one besides the above.
 
ne thing that i can use thats better than what i have now
