Stone age POS on speed...?

[pduck]

can a mobo originally meant for SIMM RAM take any other type RAM?
I cant stant 40m simm ram much longer....

lol sucks to be you!! 😀 😀

to answer your question: i dont think so! :frown:

 

[Migroo]

No, its physically impossible to fit RAM that is not the correct dimentions into a slot, let alone get the wrong type to work.

I think it's about time you upgraded your motherboard 🙂

its an ancient compaq presario (the type where everything is compressed to 1/1239812391 of its size), not much I can do about a mobo?......or can i? i aint got a friggin clue....

 

[Alex]

lol i feel your pain 😀 had me a presario too a long time ago... 😉

aw well ya can save a couple things, hd, video card (if not onboard) and well...sound maybe but ya really wanna be upgrading the whole thing...!

If its 72-pin SIMMS and is a late 486 or Pentium board, then it may be able to benefit from EDO memory (assuming that it wasn't installed with it anyway - usually if the board supported it, EDO was usually fitted). This offers a slight speed advantage as its memory timings are slightly more aggressive than normal DRAM, but still nowhere near as fast as today's SDRAM and DDR DRAM.
I also doubt that it would be worth the money to upgrade compared to how cheap normal SDRAM is at the moment.

As for the board, I doubt you will be able to find an upgrade for that compaq board (certainly not at a reasonable price). Time to upgrade, and just in time for christmas too.

Dude, You cannot wait that long to upgrade and expect to have some magical way to make your computer run faster 😉
