ram knowledge?

[yellowfever]

i dont know what kind of motherboard i have but i use DDR1 ram right now, will DDR2 ram work? Its a DELL

haha if you force ddr2 into ddr slot, you will mostlikely burn your motherboard, risking cpu to burn....and eventually actual memory and power supply.....

worst case happened to my girl's brother, so i had to fix it.....

Don't do it, get DDR1.

Do you have a laptop? If you do, I have 2 sticks of 256MB each of DDR ram PC2100.

youre planned set up looks good, i have parts from the same companies and they are reliable for extended gaming. go with an asus motherboard tho, they have never broken on me

You need to find out what speed of ddr your motherboard requires..example..you can't shove pc3200 onto a pc2700 board..it'll work but will be ****ty.

I agree with asus board, that's what i used when i rebuilt my PC

 

[shavedaccord]

Asus is nice, I use Abit though.
