Get yourself something like this:

Then you can always use it again for an A64 or something.

:/ Make sure it's compatible though

There's nothing wrong with the compatibility.

is there a difference if u get 2 x 512 mb sticks, or 1 x 1024? is it just that one takes up 2 slots other takes up 1?

or is it better to have 1 x 1024?

or better to have 2 x 512?

dunno if it makes a difference really, just thought id ask, while where on the ram subject.

oh cool,fair enough :P

Yes there is a difference. if u get x2 512mb sticks, it takes up 2 pci ram slots... I want to get x2 1GB sticks, because I have x2 PCI ram slots left... and Urbanfox, that link u gave me is for a PC3200... I have PC2100 Abit KT600-8237 Motherboard.

Kind regards.

pci ram? thats a new one.

As far as i know, the 3200 will work in a 2100 board fine, it will slow itself down as needed. And it saves you having to spend yet more money on ram when you upgrade.

aah that's what I was wondering about. Is this true for any sort of ram or is it just the two pairs stated above?

Any ram (assuming in working condition) will downclock.

Like said before, the 3200 will downclock to 2100 np.

And you might want to make sure your board can handle 1GB sticks, or else it may only see 512 of each stick or even worse not boot at all.

 

[splintercell]

yup. my board can handle up to 3GB's worth of RAM
.

 

[urbanfox]

But can each slot handle a 1GB dimm.

 

[splintercell]

err? should be... how do i find this out?
