new memory

**jimmymac** · 08-18-2006, 11:11 PM

just wanna check something, mate online has a computer and wants to upgrade memory.

system is : E-machines intel celeron 2.4gig, 512ddr, 80gb hd with a 256mb graphics card

memory currently in according to CPU-Z - pc2100 (133mhz) with 1 slot free

motherboard is trigem computer inc/imperial

from what i can find out about the motherboard its just 184 pin DDR so shouldnt be a problem fitting (none of this RDRAM rubbish)

I suggested he got hold of another PC2100 512mb stick like the following.

i realise that the new stick shows 266mhz but shouldnt be a problem should it? will basically run at speed of the slower memory stick.

He aint a gamer or anything he was just after making the machine a little faster, this all stemmed from an interest in overclocking which i kinda warned him against, didnt think he would get much out of that MOBO and CPU

Should be fine under normal circumstances. The RAM will just run at the slower clock. No biggy.
