ok i have a athelon 2100 i think
and 256meg of ram


i want to upgrade my ram and memory how would i go about it?
ive looked on ebay and look for more ram but there so many differnt types i dont know what will work on my computer.

i have 2 spare slots for ram

and how do i ad memeory??

 

btt

 

you need to know what memory you have to be hoonest, where did you get the PC from initally? did you get a manual? and what model is it matey?

 

it was built by someone home built

it has 3 gigi memory

all i know its a Atherlon 2100

were would i fond all the other info

 

AMD atherlon if it helps

 

are you are saying here, ur pc has 3gig of memory or 3 slots capable of a total of 1gig in each equalling 3gig, cause u say above it has 256mb ram.

If it has 3gig then u have no reason to upgrade, however if its 256mb then u could put another 256 or 512mb in, u must make sure it is the exact same spec as the other ram in there now, if u take the current one out it may have a sticker on it saying 333mhz or 2700 etc..

 

im lost i know it has 3 slots there

and my mate says it has 256mb

i might be beter off jus buiying a whol enew board hey

 

nah all u need is some extra ram mate, £50-£60 will get u a 512mb stick taking u to a total of 768mb which is good enough for 90% of peeps.

So u have 256mb in say slot 1, put this 512 or whatever u decide in slot 2

so will this work in my computer?

 

so i can put another 512 in slot 3??

 

The slots must have the same size memory in them, so you have to have 1-3 256's or 1-3 512's or 1-3 1gig's etc you can't mix n match them.

 

cheers anyone got any 512 or 216 for sale?

 

hi mate
according to the specs for your machine you need PC2700 DDR memory, i am basing this on your processor being an AMD Athlon 2100, although there is a PC model called an athlon2100 which houses a AMD 2800 processor, which in turn uses different memory (PC3200DDR), so you will need to confirm what processor you have matey.

So have a check, go to control panel/system abd it should tell ya what you got

 

Stu, right click on my computer and click "properties" IT will tell u what CPU u have and amount of RAM (MEMORY)

I have just upgraded mine, from a AMD Athlon 1200 CPU and 256MB RAM

Now have AMD Athlon 2400+ CPU (New board needed) and 512MB RAM
