<----- total RAM newb.
I want to upgrade my RAM to make running things faster. Right now I have this amount of RAM: It's not working for me. I want more. I did the Crucial.com system scanner, and these were my results: ^Notice how I have 2x 512MB RAM things, but somehow my total RAM is 960.. ? weird. It told me the kind of RAM I needed, and it even gave me the option to buy some of that kind. and I thought, "Wow! That's so cheap! *big smile*" BUT, I saw on a Tech website that multiple people said Crucial's prices were absurdly high. QUOTE("cfitzarl") I usually go to www.crucial.com and use their database to find out what ram a pc needs, wouldn't buy if from them tho, way too pricey!!!! Their 256 Chip was ~ $50.00 that was ddr2, ridiculous! Is it really "ridiculous"? QUOTE("Rik") Well i did say they were way too pricey!!!!!! I just use their database for reference only!! QUOTE("F1N3ST") 200$/GB I Expect it to be made of gold! Where can I get cheaper RAM that will work for my computer? |

wait i was looking for the wrong thing XD edit// the only two I could find that were even close to what I need are these two: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820146526 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820134046 but notice how they are not just DDR2 PC2 5300's.. they have weird text in between D: it's confusing me. QUOTE("crucial's") Crucial 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail what does the bolded + underlined mean? edit/// QUOTE("kingston") Kingston 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail what is 240-pin ddr2? crucial had that also...... CONFUSING! |
