The " Ebuyer 256MB DDR266 PC2100 Extra Value RAM" at £24.30 is more likely what you need. There is also the higher quality "Kingston 256 DDR266 PC2100 CL2 Dimm" at £30.89

I hope you understand that your system most likely does not support ECC.
What motherboard do you have?

I just been reading through the manual on upgrading memory and it says it can support a maximum of 256mb memory, it has four 72-pin SIMMS. It supports 2mb up to 64 mb of memory module.
this dont sound good if it means what i think it does will i have to get a new mother board? :(

Just hold on a bit. I'm seaching for more information about your board. Maybe you could tell me who makes that board? I think it's MSI but I'm not sure.

i think its PCI that made it

No, PCI is a type of bus and slot.
Do you know what CPU you have?
Marius24
10-27-2003, 03:27 PM

Where did this information come from? Are you sure that manual is for your computer? :blink:
It doesn't make sense that you would have SIMMS in Pentium 4 - 1.60 Ghz system.
I still cannot identify your motherboard.
If you open your case and look inside perhaps you could see the RAM modules. They usually have identifying stickers on them.
sounds bit funny here too, first u say u have pc2100, then u have 72pin simms. which im sure are pretty ancient. are u sure u have read the manaul for that board

It seems like some sort of lame joke. He asks for a bunch of help with conflicting information and the he disappears. :blink:
Talk about courtesy and gratitude. :angry:

Either this is a computer-illiterate who is trying to work out how to upgrade his computer without any knowledge of comuters, or it's a pisstake. Either way, I don't see anything we can say being of help.
