cant find anything and i've searched the net but theres nowhere on the net
that tells you how to check what speed memory you have and tiny computers are
usless as their system is always down and they cant tell me what speed
memory my pc has and they charge £1 a min just to tell you a load of rubbish,
i need to know the speed of the memory so i can get some more memory on
wednesday but pc world said i need to know the speed or i cant get the memory
and they can check for me but i dont really wanna pay out £10 for a cab to
take the whole dam tower down to the shop and bak :(

Go to crucial.com They have a small program you can download and will ell
you all about your current ram, including how many slots you have and what is
currently installed.
 
Go to the Crucial web site (www.crucial.com) and use their memory selecter
tool, which will show you the exact specifications for the memory needed by
your computer.
 
i've downloaded it but dont know which bit it is,
is it the Memory Bus Properties ? under that bit it says

Real Clock 133 MHz
Effective Clock 133 MHz

under Processor Properties its got

External Clock 133 MHz
Maximum Clock 1800 MHz
Current Clock 1467 MHz


and the overclock bit has

CPU Speed:
CPU Clock 1469.67 MHz
CPU Multiplier 11.0x
CPU FSB 133.61 MHz (original: 133 MHz)
Memory Bus 133.61 MHz


and under SPD its got

Memory Type SDRAM
Memory Speed PC133 (133 MHz)

their the only things i could see that were about memory,

That's it but which 133 that will work on your computer is another
question. Go to www.crucial.com and take their memory test.

just done that and got his

Computer Manufacturer
Giga-Byte
Computer Model
GA-7VKMLS
CPU Manufacturer
AuthenticAMD
CPU Family
AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1700+
CPU Speed
1469 MHz
Front-Side Bus Speed
133 MHz
Currently Installed Memory
128 MB
Maximum Memory Capacity
1024MB
Total Number Of Memory Slots
2
Available Memory Slots
1

does that mean i can only use a 133MHz speed?

What RAM does Crucial recommend?

it just says 256mb and 512mb but only at 133MHz, foned up pc world and they
told me to just take the memory out of the pc and take it down to them and
they can sort it out, as i gave them the speed and the make of the pc etc..
but their system didnt recongise it,
 
If nothing else works Mand the best way to figure out what memory you have is
to look at the chips on the memory. Course you have to be able to open your
PC and get to it. There will usualy be 8 or 9 flat black chips with writing
on them. Each chip will have the same code on it. Look this number and letter
combination up on google and it will give you a idea of what the chip is.

We sometimes get customers bringing in unmarked memory. This is the best way
ive found to figure it out. Also the chip may very well be marked.

To help you out I looked up the manuale for this board. Its a DIMM board.
Considering that you have a 133 front side bus you will most likely want 3.3v
PC133 SDRAM.

If you have more questions just let us know.

Your motherboard accepts 133mhz SDRAM.. that is the way things are.. Everest
Home told you what it is.. Crucial.com told you what it is.. others have
told you what it is..

Question.. why do you need to know?
 
Take a breath. Your text is too hard to read, so I won't!

Re-type your question using standard first letter of sentence
capitalization. A period and a space after the period (at the end of a
sentence) would be nice too.

The icing on the cake would be paragraphs (you know, a space between
separate trains of thought).

You already have 128mb of pc 133mhz sdram dimm
You can buy this ram as 32, 64, 128, 256, and 512 mb
even though Pc world or whoever only has 128 and 256mb

you have 2 slots for ram (one used)

You have a max ram of 1 gig.
Therefore, you can purchase up to TWO 512mb pc133mhz ram
What ever size you buy wouldn't be bad idea to buy in pairs of same size

BUT you already ONE 128mb pc133, you have the option of:
purchasing (since PC world only has 128 and 512 mb)
you can purchase one 128 or 512 mb
Total Ram could:
One 128 + 256 = 384 mb
One 128 + 512 = 640 mb

OR get rid of the 128 and you can mix and match 256 and 512
or buy two 256 (total 512) OR two 512 (total 1gig)

Have I confused you? I hope not. Because this is as good as it gets!!

Good Luck.
