Would this work? Ram question

ReFaN · 08-27-10, 09:00 PM

Currently have a computer with 2g Ram, looking to upgrade too 4gb, but im not sure it will fit.

my Motherboard is a intel core Duo, 4400 dont know what more information i can give you, thinking about buying.
A-DATA Vitesta + Series 2x2GB (tot. 4GB) DDR2 PC2-8500 1066MHz CL5-5-5-15

any other info you need just yell for it =P

Actual motherboard model would be nice, but you're taking the right aproach; don't get another 2GB and stick it in with the previous, just get a new set. No possible headaches getting the 2 pairs to work together.

A-data... pretty generic, should work. Get Kingston if you can, great memory, great value, lifetime warranty, always works.

(try to get 4-4-4-12 if possible, though it shouldn't matter too much. Especially if it isn't intended for gaming)

only have 2 slots for ram, so i have to go with 2x2gb if i want 4gb.

When I upgraded my RAM quite a while back I told the shop keeper that I wanted to buy 4 2Gb RAM sticks.

He made some phone call and couple minutes later they came up with 3 Kingston memory stick made in Malaysia and another 1 Kingston memory stick made in China. All four are supposed to have the same spec but when I looked at the circuit board you can see quite a lot of differences in layout.

.

I've no big problems aside from weeks a year of windows crashes but not sure what's causing those.

got bad news for you, you cant upgrade

but then i see you are thinking of going all out anyway

(try newegg.com before you buy, they have great prices)

based on the info you gave and the image you posted and it says your motherboard CANNOT handle 4gb, it can only handle the 2gb you have now so if you want more rame you need a new mobo to go with it.

here is the link to you board and specs for it : http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.as...NROE945PL-GLAN

Make sure your new board has all the other connectors you need
(PCI-E, IDE/SATA, USB headers etc) So you can re-connect all your existing components.
