how to different the RAM

What kind of question you wan to ask about Corsair RAM?
Just post your question here, we will try to help you

You can bring along your laptop to the shop to upgrade it if you not sure what is the frequency of your current RAM inside your laptop. Normally the PC shop provide free install for you.

What do you wan to differenciate for the RAM? U wan to differeciate Notebook RAM with desktop RAM? DDR with DDR2/DDR3?
Please specific it clearer about your question so that we can help you :-)

ok, i bought corsair ram dom gt. which comes together with the cooler. i know the rams have lifetime warranty,, but what about the cooler..?

nice info

Hi, are RAMs of different brands compatible with each other? My HP Pavillion G4 currently runs on a 1x2GB DDR3 1333mHz but I'm planning to add in another Asint branded 1x 2GB DDR3 1333 mHz stick. Since I'm not sure what brand of RAM my laptop is using, will it be compatible?

as long as within the same spec i dont see any problem to it. what about the timing

What's timing anyway? My reading from CPU-Z shows DRAM running at 665 MHZ,CAS## blabla bla all at 9 clocks

timing is the no like 5-5-5-15 or 9-9-9-24.

Dear all Lyn members.



Hello, I am Once again to seek for help in Laptop memory from all experts here, Well I Just want to know what is difference between DDR2 PC533,667 AND 800? Do these Number are refer to the speed or the frequencies of ram? Because I always getting confuse with these Number.. Hopefully all the experts can giving me a informations about this.


Thank you.

Hi there. I need help deciding the amount of memory for my PC.

My processor is the AMD Phenom x4 9950 Black Edition. Currently I have 2 sticks of 2gb DDR2-800 (making 4gb dual channel DDR2-800) RAM.

I am thinking of upgrading to Windows 7 x64, and I'm considering adding 2 more sticks, making a total of 4x2gb = 8gb in four slots. Problem is, adding in more RAM will reduce the RAM speed to 667mhz (also disable dual channel mode).

I understand I need to take the processor / FSB numbers to determine the optimum speed of RAM to use, but I don't fully understand how to calculate it, or if it even matters outside of benchmarking.

So can someone with this knowledge tell me, with my current processor (I mostly use it for gaming), will adding in another 4gb be worth the reduction in memory speed? Or should I stick with the 4gb to take advantage of the full 800hmz + dual channel?

Thanks in advance.

hello all....i'm thinking of upgrading my RAM...my rig spec are as shown on my sig...using win 7 ultimate x32..juz wanna know, can i extend my ram to 6 gb (2+4)? is the ram supported by my pc spec?

thanks in advance...

I think it would be better if you can make it to 8GB (4 + 4) although for 6GB it would be adequate somehow.

yeah i'm thinking of using 8gb too..but for now i can only afford to buy only one 4gb ram to be used with my currently 2gb ram...i will upgrade another 4gb in the future

Please stop misleading people. 8gb or 6gb config won't work on rest_24 as he is running on 32 bit windows 7.

To run more than 4gb, you need to re-install or rather upgrade your windows into 64bit version

oh i see ...thanks for the info. darn, i think i should upgrade to 4gb (2+2) first...since i hate reinstalling my windows. many applications and games are still not compatible with win7 64bit, right?

Nope. Almost all apps are able to run in 64 bits. Games do not have problem with 64bit at all (maybe those older game which is in XP era)

Hi,

I have a very old laptop (2003) with a 256MB RAM.
Am thinking of upgrading it but wonder if this type of RAM is still being sold in KL:

512MB (1X512MB) PC2100 NONECC UNBUFFERED 200 PIN DDR SODIMM



Need two of them since the maximum this laptop can take is only 1GB.

P/S: Don't laugh.

I'm using a old computer now, and it seems like the new ram i inserted have different hz (Old one 533 and new one 667)

Then it appears that when i insert both ram into the ram slot, sometimes the computer will hang though i adjusted the ram to 533 at bios.


Should i just remove the 533 or adjust more setting (Not sure wat to adjust, ideas?)

Well if not mistaken they still do but it's way overpriced. Suggest that you go garage sale to hunt for used one instead.

Are both rams the same brand? If different brand it will often causes instability.

Lol... Different brand...
One is KHX another is normal ram......

I'll go buy another same one then..

Thks for the info
