Memory Upgrade

To All Cognoscenti, Greetings!

My Foxconn Winfast K7S741MG/K7S741GXMG motherboard has 512 MB of memory
installed. I'd like to increase it to 1 GIG. What kind of memory should I
purchase?

Thanks in advance,

Andy

Another stick like the one you've already got ?
Does the current stick work good ?
Tested with memtest86+ or with Prime95 (torture test option) ?

I finally took the trouble of pulling the current memory. It's marked 512 MB
DDR PC2700. It that the same as PC2700 Non-ecc?

Thanks.

Yes

You might also see if there are any markings on the module
relating to CAS latency, perhaps the numbers on the sticker.
If you already had CAS2 or 2.5, it would be as well to buy
more of the same or better memory rather than CAS3 would
would be a minor performance hit.

You should also be able to buy PC3200, your board uses what
could be termed quite standard memory, most common PC2700 or
3200 should be compatible though you might check Foxconn's
website to see if they have any bios updates for memory
compatibility issues.

If your MB is capable (check its documentation, especially the chip
set) I advise getting ECC memory. It will save you much guessing
and hair loss about memory faults in the future.

He'd then have to replace the original memory. His original ram, as far
as he's told is fine.
Op did not mention any trouble with ram, just asked about an upgrade.

Mixing ecc and non ecc would at best be a waste of money, at worst it
would CAUSE memory compatibility problems.


FWIW, I checked for specs. Foxconn does not say, and crucial memory
advisor does not list the motherboard.
