Thread: Which Ram is best

Hi
Im new to the forum and Pcs. I have an old PC which I wish to increase the Ram.
New to the forum and to upgrading PCs

After an online check,I have a Gigabyte 7VT600 motherboard. I want to increase my RAM to 1gb. I currently have 256mb.

It says I can only use DDR SDRAM then the checker said that I could use PC2700 PC3200 AND PC4000.

My questions are
whats the difference in numbers mean?

does DDR mean DDR1

is it cheaper or better to buy a 1gb stick or buy 2x 512mb?

what is the average price as I dont want to pay over the odds?

Many thanks

Hi,

You may need to match the speed/type of new ram with your current ram, try installing belarc http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html , this will scan your pc and tell you what ram and how many modules you have, it will make it easier to choose what to buy for your upgrade
