I have a 1.6Ghz P4 w/Asus P4B266-C motherboard, running Win XP-SP2 Hom
Edition. It has two memory slots and currently uses ONE 256Mb 266 DD
memory card. Is it possible to upgrade this motherboard to 1 Gb b
using 2 x 512Mb cards or to 2 Gb by using 2 x 1Gb memroy cards? I hav
a friend who needs a computer for doing AutoCad work, and he's bee
informed that the computer he gets must have at least 512Mb of memory


Could I/he add 2 x 512Mb 400 DDR or 2 x 1024Mb 400 DDR cards and woul
they work normally, or do I need to stay with the 266 style? I hav
found through the ASUS site that this particular motherboard is capabl
of running 2 Gb of RAM, but I have also seen some comments in othe
forums that anythin over 512Mb will cause problems
 
Just about anything that runs a P4 should run at least 2GB,most 4GB.256
and 512mb limitations are at socket 370,just remember the memory can
be returned...
