Upgrading my RAM

[Soy]

You'l want to get good quality RAM and nothing slower than 800Mhz

Try and buy a good branded like; Kingston, ColdFusion, Corsair, Crucial etc.

So if i do get a high Mhz one, will it run okay in my computer or do i need to get a certain fitting?

Open up your case and check how many slots your motherboard has. As I know my freinds old computer only had one.

I would reccommend getting 4GB so your computer is future ready, so to speak. This is the best RAM - Price ratio I could find.

I would go with something like that, no point paying LOADS on your RAM

It has been previously discovered that he only has 2 RAM slots, and can only use up to DDR1 400Mhz. The Max he can have is 2GB.

@OP, You should buy two of the sticks I linked you to.

Its a bit steep tbh. Would you know if two of these would work as well, or would they be slower?

It won't work because it's DDR2 and not DDR1.

DDR1 is very expensive. There is no way around it short of buying a new motherboard.

[Flisker]

I wonder why DDR1 is expensive for old technology? Hmm do you think it's like that because it's becoming extinct haha

[Cryptoo]

Hm, i didn't realise this could be so confusing. Can you tell me what things i'm looking for when buying the new RAM?
Do you think I could take out one ram and just use a 2Gig one instead of 2x 1 Gig?

[Stephen!]

The materials used for DDR1 is more expensive... something like that anyway. Maybe the way it's made, too.

The main things your looking for are:

PC-3200
DDR400

and you want to make sure you get two 1GB sticks.

Thanks a lot for your help

You might aswell just buy a new motherboard, cpu and RAM just to keep your PC up to date
