My Board

Posted: **Fri Apr 30, 2004 11:17 pm**

i was just wondering, whilst shopping for more ram...

is ram universal?? like: will a type of ram work with every motherboard? or will certain motherboards only accept certain types of ram?

i am not entirely sure of my motherboards model number, but its a Gigabyte...thats all i know... /cry.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' />

any help would be great, thanks

Ram isn't universal. You need to find out what type of ram your motherboard can take, should be listed in your manual.. if your motherboard can handle it, i suggest buying some ddr ram, if it can't, buy a new motherboard that can lol. Seriously though, don't bother buying more sd ram if that's what you have. It's worth investing a few extra pennies for a newer motherboard because sd ram is pretty much null and void now /smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

How old is your motherboard? I have a Gigabyte which is a few years old that can take ddr fine /smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

ok, i found the box and manual after much scrounging around... its a Gigabyte GA-60XET ...which takes PC133 SDRAM ...this is only the family computer...so they can buy a new motherboard for it if they wish...just means ill be buying another one for mine...ahh well...

If it's only a family pc then pc133 sd will be fine, can be picked up fairly cheap now. For your own pc though, invest in a ddr compatible motherboard and some sexy ddr400 /smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />
