Adding Memory To 700x
My March 2002 Gateway 700x desktop has two 256 MB memory modules.
I see on eBay, I can buy two 512MN DDR-400 for Gateway 2.8 GHz memory RAM for a reasonable price. I see that my 700x has a 2.0 GHz chip. Should this make a difference? I want to add the two 512MB modules to the existing 2ea 256 MB modules. Thanks! Scott |

Thanks! Scott You may want to consider buying a one stick of 1GB memory instead of 2 sticks of 512MB memory. So you would have an open slot available if you want to add more memory in the future. My Windows XP computer had originally 512MB of memory and I noticed a major increase in speed when I increased the memory to a total of 2GB . Sometimes eBay isn't the cheapest place to buy stuff so you may want to do some comparison shopping. So far I've had good luck with newegg.com, amazon.com, tigerdirect.com, frys.com, and zipzoomfly.com . This seems like a fair price for memory http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820144011 I have no experience with this brand memory. I have used Kingston memory, PNY memory, and heard good things about Crucial & Ultra (Tigerdirect's brand) too. You may want to consider what type of warranty is furnished with the eBay memory or any memory that you buy. |

Quite often, newegg runs some pretty good deals on it. SC Tom |
