Hello, I am looking to upgrade my system ram from what I have currently which is a 256MB stick of Kingston value ram PC2100 and I am confused as what to get.
Now My CPU is an Athlon XP 2100+ (Palermo) with a system bus of 266mhz I think. Just upgraded to an Asus A7N8X nforce2 ultra 400 to replace my ECS KS75A that died recently. I am also runing Windows XP pro.
Now here are my questions on what to get?
Should i just get a 512MB PC3200 stick and remove the 256MB PC2100 stick for a total of 512MB RAM at PC3200 speed.
Or should I get a 512MB PC3200 stick and add it in there along with the 256MB PC2100 stick for a total of 768MB ram at PC2100 speed.
Also if I run at the higher clock speed then won?t that go to waste anyways because of the slower FSB?
