A question about motherboard/RAM compatibility

DrajanTheMagi — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 08:07:31 GMT

One of my sticks failed, so I was wondering what I'd be able to get to replace this old set. This is my motherboard:

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&cc=us&docname=c01077641&dlc=en

I know, nothing much; the stock RAM is 4 sticks of 1GB DDR2 running at MHz each. I want to replace that with 4gbs of DDR2 running at 800, I just want to know if I will be able to use 2 2GB sticks, or if I need 4 1GB sticks. Like, would this work?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211188

If my current RAM is running at 1.8v, would this RAM be okay? I should mentioned that this is RAM for a prebuilt HP, so the motherboard BIOS doesn't allow for any RAM tweaking. Would that stuff most likely drop in at 1.8v with those timings?

I was thinking of getting this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820144239 since it is the same number of sticks, same voltage, but still the higher clock; seems like the safest bet.

Any recommendations or help is very very appreciated!

I think I might of have bad memory :(

SubaruWRX — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:28:22 GMT

I don't know if I'm still able to RMA it however..

Ok just looking at the memory I brought here it's past 30 days but is it normal for memory to fail like that? because my curent system has memory which is DDR it has some errors but the system is still up but some stuff crashes if it needs to get to the memory like playing a game with Punkbuster or anything else..

I only ask because this is the 2nd time now but not the same brand of memory.

Confused about RAM

BearMatthew — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:43:59 GMT

I currently am trying to update this computer with RAM. After buying 1 GB stick half a year ago to disastrous results, I decided to ask you guys for help before I made a purchase.

System Manufacturer: ASUSTeK Computer INC.
System Model: C51-MCP51
Motherboard Manufacturer: ASUSTek Computer INC.
Motherboard Model: NAGAMI2L

Is what I currently know about my computer...

It's a Dual Channel style of system from what I was told.

What's up with memory prices lately?

ddehr026 — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:40:34 GMT

So I was looking to get some new memory for my desktop and have noticed that dd2 800 and 1066 prices have more than doubled in the past few months!! Anyone else notice this? whats the deal newegg?

Which mhz ddr3???

Craig111 — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:10:28 GMT

I have gotten VERY confused as to which mhz ddr3 to use. Intel says 1066 for the i7 920 but yet I see 1333 and 1600 as well.

I am having a total rebuild done to my pc and have decided on the following:

i7 920, Corsair Dominator or OCZ Gold, AsRock x58 Extreme, Western Digital Caviar Black 640GB, Corsair 750W or 850W power supply and a gtx260 video card. I will probably be getting a Vigor Monsoon lll LT or Akasa Nero ak967 cpu cooler.

I do not have an unlimited budget and the pc will be used mostly for gaming, storing music and internet surfing. I don't know how intensive my gaming will be and I have never overclocked and am not sure that I am going to start or not.

Please - Any and all opinions will be welcomed and apreciated.

~~PLEASE - ANY AND ALL OPINIONS WILL BE WELCOMED AN D APPRECIATED!~~

OCZ Gold or Blade???

Craig111 — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 21:49:27 GMT

I was going to get OCZ Gold for my PC that is going to be undergoing a major transformation but now I see OCZ Blade. Is Blade better for an i7 920 cpu??? OCZ says it is "optimized" for the i7. My pc will have the following:

i7 920 LGA1366, 6 GB of OCZ ram (Gold? or Blade?), AsRock x58 Extreme, Corsair HX850W, WD Caviar Black 640GB, GTX260.

Is this RAM compatible?

Stu555 — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 14:00:45 GMT

I want to build a new system with an AMD Phenom II X4 955 AMS CPU and Asus M4A79XTD EVO AM3 MB.

Ram always confuses me a bit. I understand that it is always better to run two sticks in a dual channel system. I want either 6 or 8 gigs of RAM. So,

I was looking at these G.Skill http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231308

Or four of these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231193

Obviously, getting the four Dimms would save me a bunch of money. Is there a compelling reason to run the two instead of the four? What alterations will I need to make to my machine if I install either.

DDR2 800 compatibility

idahosledhead — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 03:42:58 GMT

I plan on upgrading my system with this mobo,

ASUS M4A78 Plus AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail

and this processor,

AMD Phenom II X4 940 Deneb 3.0GHz Socket AM2+ 125W Quad-Core Black Edition Processor Model HDZ940XCGIBOX - Retail

If I am reading the specs correctly my current DDR 2 800 memory will work?

Thank you for in advance for the advice.

Newegg's ram model # not jive with Cruciial's.

diligentinquirer — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 23:30:23 GMT

Plannning to buy memory upgrade from Newegg (1st time customer). Ran my HP a1010n on the Newegg memory configurator,

and got a crucial model number CT12864Z335 stick, but when I then ran Crucial's configurators, got CT537490 & CT537491.

Otherwise, the Newegg Model looks OK (am a novice on this though).

Any opinion on whether I can order w/o facing a problem later?

Thanks, Diligent

qiqiours — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 18:40:01 GMT

Do they have any differences?

I can either buy 1 pack of 8 g memory (4x2g) or 2 packs of 4 g memory (2x2g), right?

I am asking this b/c i saw this one below saying it's Quad Channel O.O!!!

aren't they same as 2 packs of 4g memory?

Only 4gib of DDR3

Germerican — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 09:38:54 GMT

Hi everybody. I just purchased a new rig at Neweggs and everything seems to work fine, except my ram. I got a EVGA p55 SLI and OCZ Platinum 6GB 3 x 2GB (OCZ3P1600LV6GK). I am using Windows 7 x64 and updated the bios to the newest version. Windows as well as my bios show me 4gib only + it runs in single channel. I know I am using tripple channel although it's not supported, but I should get at least two dual channel and one single. How do I solve this problem, is there anyhting I can change within the bios? I coudln't find anything yet.

Thanks for eventuel responds.

EVGA Compatibility List vs. Product Manual [780i]

okendoze — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 20:32:08 GMT

Upgrading RAM... what a pain in the butt.

I'm looking for 4-8gb of RAM for a 1 year old build. The motherboard is EVGA's 780i SLI, model 132-CK-NF78. It would make sense to follow the mobo's manual when hardware upgrades are concerned, right? The manual (pdf) specifies, "your new motherboard has four 1.8V 240-pin slots for DDR2 memory." Meanwhile, pay a visit to EVGA.com's memory compatibility list and you'll find some 2.1v+ memory listed. Huh??

Besides this, isn't it generally possible for memory not listed as compatible to be compatible?

I could use a clue. Thanks for reading.

OCZ RAM suposedly deactivated

kjhmnn — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 17:19:21 GMT

Does anyone know why this particular model of RAM has been deactivated and what model has replaced it

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227198

I have 3.5 GB/s in my system ans I was looking to add more once I get a 64bit OS but it seems their is not 2GB single stick version of this RAM. Would it be wise to get another OCZ stick and mix it with what I currently have. I have 4 slots on my motherboard and 4 filled with 1GB sticks of said OCZ RAM.

ASUS Commando MOBO + GSkill ram compatible?

dustinanderson — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 16:11:19 GMT

After all the positive reviews on g skill memory I have decided to switch from cosair.

Currently I'm running 2 sets of Cosair TWIN2X2048-6400

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145590

My MOBO is Asus commando but according to Gskills site its not one of the "qualified mobos".

Will I have any problem upgrading to on of the following? Does anyone have any experience with any of these memory sets?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231219

Any ideas or suggestions? I just upgrade to Win 7 64bit from Win XP 32 bit and want to run 8gb of ram now.

Thank you

POKETNRJSH — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 07:32:06 GMT

Hey, I'm upgrading some stuff and I'm looking to get some new RAM. I did have G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL recomended to me, but I was wondering if there is anything better in the 4GB range. Normally, I wouldn't need help, but this is my first time working with AMD, and looking at some reviews of my mobo, it seems some RAM doesn't play nice with it, so I figured I would ask for advice here.

Memory Upgrade for Gateway MX8738 Notebook...

Puma357 — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 03:16:50 GMT

I need to know what specific memory modules I should purchase for my Gateway MX8738 notebook to upgrade it from 1GB to the 2GB max.

Gateway website says it is currently "1024 MB 667 MHz DDR2 Dual Channel memory (2 x 512 MB)", but I am not sure whether it is 200-pin SO-DIMM or 240-pin SDRAM. Also, any pros and/or cons on various brands, etc.? Any recommendations?

I am pretty sure that this is PC2-5300 memory, although I cannot find this listed on the Gateway support site.

I would also appreciate any detailed information on exactly how to install the memory modules in the notebook frame or chassis.

I would appreciate any help with this, as I don't want to make a mistake and purchase the wrong memory.

Thanx!

What should I look for to go with.....
