Hi there,
As i said before in my previous thread- "Rebuilding computer-need help!!!", people said that i need ram for the computer to boot up so i can install windows on it. The computer is a Compaq Evo D32T. All i wanted to know is what type of ram does the motherboard take(DDR,DDR2) Also what mhz? The motherboard has 2 RAM slots, and just above on of them it says DDR1, DDR2. What type of RAM would i use to get this computer up and running? Here are some pics:

I cant be sure on this, but I would say ddr ram. My mate had a pc with a Pentium D 820, and his motherboard used ddr ram. (A pentium D is two Pentium 4's on the one die) So, if his computer uses ddr ram, then there's no chance that yours wouldn't
 
I should immagine it will be something like DDR1 Pc3200 or something...but a quick google search i couldnt see what mobo it has.

Download Cpuz here...

click on the "Mainboard" option and tell us what it says in Mode and Manufacturer...even better take a screenshot for us!
 
Your computer doesn't use both ddr1 and ddr2, the slot are just labeled ddr#1 and ddr#2. Your computer uses ddr pc2100 memory.
 
Thanks

Hi again,
thanks for your reply, but does it have to be specifically pc2100 DDR RAM, or can it be any type of RAM, as long as it is DDR?

Thanks
 
The motherboard might only support the 2100 ram, if you have faster ram you can try it but most likely it will downclock to the slower speed.
