How many pins in my RAM?
Hello,
I want to upgrade the RAM in my Compaq Prosignia 320 (BI440ZX motherboard). I know it takes DIMM SDRAM modules (PC66/PC100), but I have seen 100 and 168 pin modules advertised. Does anyone know how many pins are used for MY memory modules? Thanks. Bern --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

You don't want the 168, that is for the new DDR memory modules, which
won't work in your system. On Wed, 27 Aug 2003 12:49:57 +0100, "Bernard Jelley" wrote: Hello, I want to upgrade the RAM in my Compaq Prosignia 320 (BI440ZX motherboard).

"N J Jelley" wrote in message .. . (Asking on father's (Bernard Jelley) behalf...) We have been hunting around on the net for PC100 RAM for this PC. Would we be safe in assuming *any* 168 pin 64Mb PC100 DIMM/SDRAM modules would work, or are there indeed differences between specs of said modules? Thanks, Neil any memory should be good - crucial.com - you may wish to check whether the latency is CL2 or CL3 - check mobo spec |
