Need more RAM?

textbook · 07-27-2008, 07:32 PM

on that motherboard monitor software it asks the name of my motherboard- how do I find that out?

Ok I went and bought two new 1GB sticks of RAM. The maximum capacity for my computer is 2GB. It says on that CPUID program that i have 2048. Could I be damaging my computer? When It tried Battlefield my computer switched off the first time after ten minutes.

2048 is 2Gb

1Gb = 1024

no it wont be damaging your pc.

however what ram did you buy? are you sure your mobo is compatiable with that ram?

i think it is compatible, I showed my comuter stats to the guy in the shop and he said the ones i bought would be ok. I needed DDR SDRAM PC2700. They said PC3200 would be ok, so that is what i bought. Paid equivalent to 85 dollars for two 1GB sticks though

ignore haulkook, hes just spamming

2048mb = 2gb by the way - because there are 8 bits in a byte
