RAM PC3200 question?
Hi All,
Was thinking of resurrecting an old computer that had WinXP on it and install Win7 for my brother to play with.
He currently has Vista (poor guy) ;-)
To the point, the old box only has 1GB PC3200 Dual Channel. MoBo is ASUS A7V880. I figure the biggest drawback to Win7 would be the lack of memory and I want to put 4GB into it. I know it will not be a screamer, just wanted to upgrade the Mem so the bro could get a feel for Win7 as he is thinking about building a Win7 box from scratch. Doing some searching on the memory and prices, was wondering if the so-called low density sticks are the same as single side? and high density is so-called dual side ( ie Dual channel)? If so, does anyone have a perspective on the speed difference? I'm not too knowledgeable on this RAM stuff, so any input is totally welcome.
Thanx, Froggy.
