Memory question
Hello
I currently have a Kobian/Mercury KVT600X-L Mobo and I am looking to get some more memory. We have a stick of 512 Samsung DDR2-SDRAM PC4300 sat here at work that I was going to try it out. My question is will my current board take this stick? I'm thinking it won't but I don't know enough about memory to make that decision. Here is a copy/paste of my cpuz results: CPU: Number of CPUs 1 Name AMD Athlon XP Code name Thoroughbred Specification AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2200+ Family/Model/Stepping 680 Extended Family/Model 7/8 Package Socket A Core Stepping A0 Technology 0.13µ Instructions Sets MMX, Extended MMX, 3DNow!, Extended 3DNow!, SSE Clock Speed 1800.1 MHz Clock multiplier x13.5 Front Side Bus Frequency 133.3 MHz Bus Speed 266.7 MHz L1 Data Cache 64 KBytes, 2-way set associative, 64 Bytes line size L1 Instruction Cache 64 KBytes, 2-way set associative, 64 Bytes line size L2 Cache 256 KBytes, 16-way set associative, 64 Bytes line size L2 Speed 1800.1 MHz (Full) L2 Location On Chip L2 Data Prefetch Logic yes L2 Bus Width 64 bits Chipset: Northbridge VIA KT600 rev. 80 Southbridge VIA VT8237 rev. 0 AGP Revision 3.5 AGP Transfert Rate 8x AGP SBA supported, enabled AGP Aperture 128 MBytes Memory Type DDR Memory Size 256 MBytes Memory Frequency 133.3 MHz (1:1) DRAM Interleave 4-way CAS# 2.5 RAS# to CAS# 3 RAS# Precharge 3 Cycle Time (tRAS) 6 Many thanks and sorry for the excess c/p charleh |

Here is a copy/paste of my cpuz results: snip Thatnk's for the info, but it doesn't mater what the CPU is - all that matters is the motherboard and after a quick Google, your motherboard supports up to DDR-400 RAM, aka PC3200. The memory you've got a work appears to be DDR2-533 (PC4200, not 4300), so whilst it might fit in the slot, it will only run at 400mhz. |

Hi Charleh
No you can not use DDR2-SDRAM PC4300. Your motherboard only supports memory of type DDR and DDR400 http://www.mercury-pc.com/products.php?productid=384 DDR2 is not compatiable with DDR and beside that DDR2 pC4300 = DDR2537.5M which is faster than the motherboard can support! So the answer is NO. Hope that helps "charleh" wrote in message ... Hello I currently have a Kobian/Mercury KVT600X-L Mobo and I am looking to get some more memory.
