Memory on a Abit KT7

[lepper boy]

First off, I would just look in the book for the mobo to get my answer, but it's my dad's computer so I don't have the book. 2nd. I would look online. but hey, I'm online and I'm asking you. do I need a special type of memory to upgrade my dad's exisint 128meg pc-133 ram? I mean does it haev to be another identical 128 meg stick? or can I pick up a crucial 256 meg stick and just stick it in there beside it? it's not overclocked. he doesnt' like that..... : (

thanks in advance!

Covering both bases....

As indicated in the other thread... you can't mix and match. The sticks should be identical.

I've never used that particular mobo but I've ran mixed ram in several of my old BX & LX mobo's without any problems.

i've mixed and matched ram on my abit bh6 and it works great..... I think I will just get him a 256 meg stick...... and then if they dont' like each other, keep the 128 and give him the 256

crucial's memory are usually pretty damn good, so mixing it shouldn't be a problem (assuming you are not overclocking it). Make sure you get the CAS2 just in case your current stuff is CAS2.

Either way, it's always a gamble. but with crucial, you can just return it
