any idea how to verify Kingston valueRAM
other than checking via kingston.com/verify?
coz i just bought this ddr2 ram where the booklet color is black & white, while my the other old ram's a colored booklet.

and btw, how to check if my comp is running on dual channel,
any indication? as i've already put in dual channel slots.

You can check DUal channel mode through CPU-Z.

Value RAM normally do not stated that it is value ram. Only Performance RAM have special name. For e.g Kingston HyperX.

hi, that's one question i would like to ask.

currently, my dekstop is using 1 512mb ddr2 ram (533mhz), corsair.

i m thinking of upgrade it by either adding one 512 mb or one 1g ram. the problem is, if i add one 1 g ram, it will only add up the capacity and not much on the speed, am i right??since i can't use dual channel, i can only use single channel with total capacity of 1.5g.

if i add 1 more 512mb ram to channel b (3rd slot), then i can use dual channel effect of the ram, theoretically it will boost up the speed more than the previous 1.5g option. am i right???

if the above situations are true, then which option should i take?? add 512 or 1g?? i m cracking my head....!!!ahhhh!!!:wacko:

1 more thing is, let say if i add 1 more 512mb, then should it be the same brand and same model as my previous one?? or it will do even the brand is different but the speed and the capacity are the same??

Make it Dual channel is better.

thanks...

then should i buy a same brand and same model ram or jz any brand, as long as it is 512mb 533mhz??

I would recommend you to look for the same model if possible with the frequency of 533Mhz.

hi every1, newbie here, i wanna buy a pair of ram 2x512MB so that i can run dual channel and overclock (if possible), could any1 suggest me which type of ram is suitable for my mobo to do it? i thought of buying the kingston hyperX 1GB kit or the crucial Ballistix 1GB kit, both of it PC3200 lar, if there is better ram out there for my mobo, could u pls tell me, thx ya

below is my rig:
mobo : Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000-G (Rev 3.x)
proc : Intel P4 3.0E 800FSB
gc : XFX 7600GT AGP 1400Mhz 560Mhz
psu : Icute 450W (normal psu i think, bought it 1 year ago for about rm90)

pc: in the future thought of playing NFS Pro street, BioShocked, ........

thx man for the info, btw is it possible to find BH5 chipset this days

Good luck for your hunt. Cheers.

btw one noob question, can i use a pc 4000 ram in my pc 3200 mobo? if i were to use pc 4000 ram, meaning that i can oc at a higher freq? for example pc4000 (250Mhz), meaning that i can oc easier for freq >250Mhz?

Sure. You can use it. To get the speed on the hand, you will have to OC the bus.

if my mobo is able to support ddr333 pc2700, will it be able to support ddr400 pc3200?? coz ddr400 seem to be cheaper than ddr33

hi expert here, i am a computer noob here that wanna to ask some quesion regarding to RAM.

I wish to buy 1GB RAM which currently i am using 256mb, I hv two slot 4 Bank and each Bank max is up to 1GB, my question is, is it better to put the ram separately which means bank 0=256mb , bank 2 = 1gb or this bank 0=256mb, bank1=512mb , bank2 = 512mb?? is put double side better or put in single side better??
One more stupid question to ask , how to check whether i using dual channel or not? :sweat

Hope to get info ASAP, thx!

You will have to Overclock the bus to make it runs at DDR400.


It is depends on mobo. Some mobo can detect dual channel even if the pair place side by side while the other might not. Please refer to mobo manual for more details.

You can check it when you turn on your PC where it will display the memory mode.

oo...thanks for info....i hv another stupid question here, i juz found out my mobo mannual n it stated the memory can support four memory banks using two 184-pin DDR DIMMs, i stil confuse with the 4 bank meaning since i phycially saw that my mobo only can put two memory stick....??? currently i using 256 mb so can i add another 1gb?

If the slot available only 2 slots, only 2 stick can be put to the system.

oic, i thought 1 bank for 1 memory stick...hehe...thanks for info

You are welcome. Just let us know the result. cheers.
