Please log in for more thread options goes... I have 2 sticks of DDR SDRAM PC3200 (512meg each) and then one memory bank spare... Can I add another stick, but 1 Gig to make the PC 2gig or do all the sticks have to be the same value? Just to clarify I'd then have 2x512meg and 1x1gig.... Cheers.... -- The Zero ST | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

If you don't want to do that, you can get some free information from www.crucial.com or www.kingston.com . Both of those companies have search engines for RAM upgrades, with thousands of computers listed. For a 1GB DDR stick of RAM, don't buy it from Ebay. Buy virtually anything else, but don't buy 1GB DDR there. The problem is, most of 1GB DDR RAM on Ebay is "high density" and not likely to make you happy in the long run. Reputable sellers like Crucial or Kingston, will sell you good RAM. Paul | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

I guess I can have ram of different sizes...it's just that back in the day (about 10 years ago) I have to have 2 sticks of 128meg to make 256meg but not 2x64 and one 1x128...

I'll have to buy from a different site though as I'm in the UK...I'll look for the UK counterpart websites... Thanks again.... -- The Zero ST | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
