RAM

[Extreme112]

Do the m8125x and the a6650f have the same ram types. I wanna transfer from one to the other.

Both of those systems use ddr2 memory, so it should be compatible with each other.

OK Thanks a lot.

Hold on though. Isnt there other things to consider like
Dual channel memory architecture
Four 240-pin DDR2 DIMM sockets
Supported DIMM types:
PC2-5300 (667 MHz)
PC2-6400 (800 MHz)
Non-ECC memory only, unbuffered
supports 2GB DDR2 DIMMs
Supports up to 8 GB on 64 bit PCs
Supports up to 4 GB* on 32 bit PCs
32 bit PCs cannot address a full 4.0 GB of memory.

Well I just copied this from The a6650f's specs but point being what else should I consider? And are you sure it will fit.

The only real big thing to consider is if you have an OS that is either 32bit or 64bit. Since if you have only 32bit, there's no point on installing any more than 4GB of ram, since it won't detect the rest.

You might want to consider if you want the computer running in dual channel mode or not, having either 2 or 4 memory slots used with similar memory type will let you run in dual channel. I would say that running in dual channel is maybe 3~5% faster than single channel.

I'm 100% sure that it will fit in both two computers, maybe 99.9% sure that it will work, however there is always that slight chance of incomptability.

Great Thanks.
