The Computer Hardware Question Thread

[Refrigerator]

One option would be to find the manufacturer and model number of your motherboard on Everest (when the program window is open, go to "motherboard", then click on "motherboard", then look at what's written under "motherboard name."  You should be able to plug that information into this website[/url] (select "motherboards" for the first pulldown) and it will suggest compatible memory for you.  You don't have to buy from them, of course, but you'll know what you're looking for and will start to get an idea of price.

Or, you could go back to Everest, return to motherboard -> motherboard, then scroll down to "motherboard physical info".  See what it says under "RAM slots" and that should tell you what type of RAM you will need.  For example, mine says "4 DDR DIMM", so I need to buy DDR RAM that fits a DIMM slot, and I have a total of 4 slots on my board.  That doesn't tell you what kind of DDR RAM for some reason, though (I have SDRAM), but you can go to computer -> summary and scroll down to motherboard, then see what it says under "system memory".  On my computer, that's where it specifies SDRAM, anyway.

Anyway, good luck!  :)

You mean... this?



So I'm looking for PC3200 DDR SDRAM, right?
EDIT: Wow, that sounds like some setup there! Unfortunately, my motherboard only has two RAM slots, so this'll be second one to fill it up. Is it worth it to get 1536mb instead of 1024? Will that extra 512 make a lot of a difference?
