June '07 Memory Giveaway Contest

1GB Mushkin PC4400 Hi-Perf dual-channel memory kit!

wow but

don`t think can support also lol

 

mmm...another GB of memory won't hurt.

 

Great contest for the PCs with DDR1 classic.

Hope I can get that sticks for my new Vista rig!!

 

Hey, I have a RAM-related question, that probably most of you can answer. Today I bought a stick of ddr1 ram 1 gig, and inserted it in one of the four memory slots in my mobo. Originally it had 512 mb or ram in 2 sticks of 256mb each. I removed one of the 256 sticks and replaced it with the 1 gig one. When I turned on the computer, it booted fine, but it make a single beep and displayed a message says something along the lines of "dual channel needs sticks of the same ram in each slot. It then continued to load windows fine. I turned off the pc, inserted the other 256mb stick into an empty slot, and now it still makes the beep, but shows no message. Im typing this with all three sticks, for an amount of 1.5gigs of ram. Its that ok to leave like that, beeping each time it boots? Or is it going to make my mobo explode or something? Is that beep a sign of harm being done to my computer?

thank in advanced

 

its fine, the beep probably means that dual channel is not working
but this is correct since you only have 3 sticks
(you need two or four stick for dual channel to work)

 

Been a while since I've heard DDR1 referred to as "classic" hehe. There's still millions of home computers stuck on Intel P4 socket 478 and AMD socket 939.

 

but why is DDRII more expensive?

 

And don't forget the S.754 and certain earlier S.775 platforms too.

 

I'm still on a S478 with DDR too
I'll be upgrading when DDR3 is more affordable
(i plan on skipping DDR2 )

 

Are you kidding? DDR2 has never been cheaper. You can easily get 2gigs of quality stuff for under $100

 

sorry i mean ddr

 

then ur right, DDR prices havent dropt a single buck since DDR2 appeared
thats why i still only got 512mb ram and why i need to win this contest

 

Hopefully i can win too.. haha... boost up the RAM in my new Comp... hehe

 

Cool one! Love to have these sticks for the good times of Vista.

 

haha when would that be? gonna do the same too
