Instead of upgrading to AM2, I’m going to get 2 GB of ram for my current computer.
PC3200 G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) $140 after shipping
OCZ Platinum 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory – Retail
Rather have that ram, no idea if my grandma ordered anything, phone is in use, as usual. Never get any email really, so I probably won’t get a reply. So I have no idea on anything. And its sold out, oh well. Maybe it was all along, and I didn’t notice it. That sucks, I wanted that ram.
Hopefully I won’t get any dead sticks. With my luck I probably will, so I might have to send one or two back. Maybe I’ll sell my old GB stick after I upgrade, its pc2100, can’t use dual channel with a two pc3200 and one pc2100. Oh yeah and my current ram isn’t the same brand, so it would probably have compatibility issues.
“If only one memory module or three memory modules are installed
in the DDR DIMM slots on this motherboard, it is unable to activate
the Dual Channel Memory Technology.
”
That proves that I couldn’t activate it with my old stick too. That was copied from the manual of my motherboard. Oh yeah and if I remember correctly the faster ram would operate at the slower speeds, making it useless in buying faster ram.
Not selling old ram, need it just in case new ram dies.
