I plan to upgrade RAM memory to 512MB. Current memory - DIMM DDR 333 (2.5)
184-pin. 2 memory slots. I want add 256MB to second slot.
Is there any advantages to search memory from the same manufacturer I have
already installed, or this really does not matter? I can no even determine
their logo.
regards.
You don't necessarily have to buy the additional RAM from the same
manufacturer, but it might simplify matters if that information can be
easily determined.
It is absolutely essential that any new RAM module(s) be fully
compatible with both the motherboard and/or any other RAM module(s)
already in the system. Additionally, there are sometimes jumper
switches on older motherboards that need to be reset for new RAM
configurations. Consult your motherboard's manual or the manufacturer's
web site for specific instructions and compatibility requirements.
If you cannot lay your hands upon the computer's manual and the
manufacturer doesn't provide a support web site, Crucial Memory's web
site (
www.crucial.com) has a database to help to find the right RAM for
your specific make and model computer and/or motherboard.
