Hi there.
Basically, I'm hoping to upgrade the memory on my system, but need some help deciding what sort/size I can get. It currently stands at 1gb (2x512mb).
The manual for my motherboard says I have a -
Intel 915G/915P/915GV Chipset.
It also says it supports:
2 DDR slots and 2 DDR II slots.
DDR 333/400 SDRAM memory type.
DDRII400/DDRII533
Dual Channel DDR/DDRII 128-bit Wide Memory Interface.
128mb, 256mb, 512mb technologies implemented as x8, x16 devices.
Non-ECC memory only.
DIMM size from 64 Mbytes to 2Gbyte.
I've just tried the Crucial.com system scan and it said:
512 MB DDR PC2-4300
512 MB
EMPTY
EMPTY
* Maximum Memory Capacity: 4194304 MB
* Currently Installed Memory: 1024 MB
* Available Memory Slots: 2
* Number of Banks: 4
* Dual Channel Support: N.A.
It also said they didn't sell any memory compatible with my system.
So, maybe this is my lack of technical expertise showing, but its left me a bit confused. Ideally I'd like to get one 2gb card, so I can later upgrade to 2x2gb. If not, then I'd go for 2x1gb cards.
Could anyone please help by telling me what I should be shopping for?
Cheers very much!
