Board: Intel D845DVSR. need compatable ram

Nightwing333 · 01-04-2008, 11:40 AM

i am looking to add a 1gb stick which i was going to purchace today on ebay. luckily before i did i read the sellers disclaimer about high density memory.

i know i need a ddr stick that is pc3200 but i do not know anything beyond that. can anyone help?

Nightwing333 · 01-04-2008, 06:00 PM

a little more info to add. i have tried using some memory scanner tools and done some limited research which provided alot of results that i do not understand very well. acording to what i have found out i need ram that is 333mhz or lower and my board supports pc3200 or previous, which it has a 512mb stick of 3200 in it right now.

then when i went looking for ram i could not find ANY 1gb sticks of pc3200 ram that were 333mhz, only 400mhz. i was hoping to get pc3200 for best results but does this mean that i have to settle for pc2700 if i want a 1gb stick?

plus i still need to figure out if i need high or low density ram?

i read it. i can make sense of some of it as well as the results i got from a few of the memory scanners.

the info i am in need of though is the info i haven't found a definate answer to which is can i use high density ram and can i use 400mhz ram which would enable me to get a 1gb pc3200 stick?

The 400mhz ram you mention should work fine. It's comapitable with most needing DDR. I wouldn't suggest the ebay idea, but do think you should try to buy locally

what board and cpu do you have?

Nightwing333 · 01-07-2008, 07:48 PM

board is Intel D845DVSR
cpu is 2.4ghz intel celeron

Are you sure it's not a D845GVSR? None the less if the board only support PC2700, PC3200 will still work since it's backward compatible, only run at PC2700 speed.
