Is it "Manufacturing Date" giving you trouble ?

That's it (assuming the stick you buy is OK).

The things I do for you lot...

Can you post the CPU tab as well? It looks like your RAM is being overclocked. That might explain some of your computer's strange behavior (PC2300 is not a standard memory type).

lom · 07-04-2007, 12:16 AM

You've got a slow and dumb ramstick (no error cortection, not buffered, not registered).
You can either buy another one of those, keywords Apacer PC2300 256MBytes for a total of 512.
I would scrap it and buy 2 * 512MBytes of a better type..

ChiangMai noon · 07-04-2007, 12:16 AM

there you go.

It all depends on what your mainboard can work with, don't you have a manual ?

Unlikely, even if the hard drive has been working a lot by swapping RAM data in and out when you reached your RAM limit.
Heat is what usually takes them.

You need to buy either PC2100, PC2700, or PC3200. A Celeron won't particularly care about or use the higher speed stuff.

Hell, christ, wait about a month and I'll personally deliver some that I have sitting around that I don't use. It'll cost you a beer or two

Post your motherboard tab too please

There are other mfgr than Kingston..

that's a very generous offer, but I'm doing so much downloading and burning of stuff recently, i'm not sure I can wait.

man with no head · 07-04-2007, 12:32 AM

I can't find PC2300 for sale by any reputable memory manufacturer. Crucial doesn't sell it. Supertalent doesn't sell it. Kingston doesn't. It isn't for sale on Newegg.com, ZipZoomFly.com, Memorystock.com, Memory-Configurator.com, etc.

Maybe you are confusing it with PC3200?

ok.
and they come in differnt speeds right?
and I need 512 rams.

man with no head · 07-04-2007, 12:42 AM

Get 1GB. Trust me, it will be better than 512. I'm using 512 right now in the computer I rebuilt and it's rather miserable IMHO.

PC2100, PC2700, PC3200 are the relative speeds (the number actually refers to the theoretical bandwidth of the memory...the amount of data that can pass through the memory).

PC2100 = 2x133MHz RAM, PC2700 = 2x166MHz RAM, PC3200 = 2x200MHz RAM (the 2x is where the term DDR - double data rate - originates). These numbers tend to be interchangeable at your PC retailer. PC2100 might be sold as DDR266, PC2700 might be sold as DDR333, and PC3200 might be sold as DDR400. Confused yet?

Your Celeron's bus speed is 100MHz (technically it's 400MHz but we won't get into that- as far as the motherboard is concerned it's 100MHz), thus, the PC2100 will be fine.

No.

Corsair and Viking are two manufacturers.
Viking was one of the first companies to sell memory upgrade kits for just about every computer from a PC to a mainframe, long before Kingston started.

You can read about them memsticks if you google instead of looking at online computer shop url's.

I always enjoy Surasak and Lom's erm.. discussions.
