Here's my feeling on this... If you have the RAM anyhow, and you have nowhere else to use it, go = ahead and put it in the machine, and top it at 4GB. Windows itself will not be able to use it, but it WILL be used. You won't have any harm with 4GB in your machine. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ SirTroth ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ ICQ: 1717439 ~ YAHOO: SirTroth ~ SKYPE: SirTroth ~ XFIRE: SirTroth ~ AIM/AOL: SirTrothX ~ http://ut2004.sirtroth.com ~ MSN: SirTroth@xxxxxxxxxxx (For MSN Chat) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ =A0 -----Original Message----- From: pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of rudy Sent: Saturday, May 03, 2008 4:40 PM To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: -=3DPCTechTalk=3D- A few more memory questions plz Below is a link from a cruical memory scan: http://www.crucial.com/systemscanner/viewscanbyid.aspx?id=3D5A76EB6731D92= 6C3 Each memory slot can hold DDR2 PC2-4200,DDR2 PC2-5300,DDR2 PC2-6400 with = a=20 maximum of 1GB per slot.* I have 2 sticks of DDR PC2-5200 installed yet it isn't listed above as=20 compatible? How much of a benefit would adding 1GB stick of PC2-6400 so my system = would=20 run at 6400 instead of 5200? 10% at best? I bought two more sticks of the 6400 so I could add both for 4GB but = since=20 XP will only see 3GB is there any reason to go with 4GB instead of 3GB? = If I only put 1 pc-6400 GB stick in I'll have a 1GB pc-6400 just sitting = around:) Here is the memory I bought, good cheap stuff but it's the fastest my = system will see. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpN= o=3D1 558870&sku=3DC19-4332&CMP=3DEMC-TIGEREMAIL&SRCCODE=3DWEM1610V Thanks, I'm out and have a great weekend all.
