So far, I've used non-branded non-ECC DDR with an unspecified latency rating, bought from
Scan Computers, since it's just up the road from me (£53 for a single 1GB PC2700 chip), but with my new computer, I'll be getting 2 * 1GB PC3200 cas-2-3-2-5 OCZ Platinum paired chips, £233 for the pair, from
OverClock...
I'm not that techically minded lol
Have a Packard Bell P4 2.2mhz with 2 256 233hrz sticks. Would i need to find out what sticks were compatable with my motherboard...
Yes, that'd be the first step......find out the kind of sticks it'll take, and the maximum speed. In my opinion, buy the fastest it'll take (if it won't take more than one PC3200-speed stick, then upgrade - it's what I'm planning on doing soon, I'm currently limited to 2GB of PC2700), and keep it all the same speed (not as important these days, as it used to be, but I'm a stickler for tradition
).
