Upgrading RAM

Mon Jan 01, 2007 3:24 am

Aight I need some help upgrading my RAM

AMD 64 3000+ 1.81GHz
ATI x800GT 256mb
This Motherboard
and Kingston 184pin 512MB PC3200 HYPERX RAM

My motherboard has 3 available (4 total) slots for additional RAM and I'd like to keep the stick I already have.

I was thinking of buying another stick of what I already have then in the near future buying either 2 more sticks of 512 (2gigs of 4x512mb) or buying a gig stick (2gigs of 2x512 + 1 gig).

So what do you guys think I should do? I want to eventually get to 2 gigs

By three more sticks of PC3200 512mb RAM to give you 2 gigs.

You don't want to have different types of RAM in the same slot.

I've heard lots of things about nForce 4 motherboards screwing up with four sticks of RAM, so I stuck with two sticks of 1 GB, namely these (they used to be cheaper :oops: ).

You can go either way because the size of the ram does not change the type. So go with whatever will get you the most for cheaper.
