Thank you very much! Youve answered everythin

Thank you very much! Youve answered everything I need.

Answer 1

No, you must get RAM with the right amount of pins or it will not work. Different types of RAM are also different lengths and fit into slots with barriers are different distances along the way, so it won't come close to fitting.

You also should get RAM that is the same speed as the RAM you already have, because you will waste money on RAM that is not running at full speed.

Pins in a memory module are used in a similar way to other computer cards. Each pin on a memory module has a specific task, so if a pin was damaged the memory would be unusable.

Ram comes in differeent pin configurations and speeds. If you are looking to upgrade your best bet is to go to the following link http://www.crucial.com. they can check your computer remotely and recommend the correct speed, type and amount for your computer.

You can order online and they give a guarantee that it will be compatible with your motherboard. It also carries a very good warranty. It's not the cheapest but it's worth buying quality Ram. I've purchased from them before.

Answer 3

specific that's going to. the only situation that MIGHTcause you issues could be a extreme-end photos card; say a Radeon 1650/1900/1950, or an NVidia 7300 or above. because it fairly is, you probably did no longer say, yet out of your question, working a million HDD, a million DVD/CD force and any conventional video card, even a extreme end card, will paintings high quality with 3 hundred watts. Douglas D MCP, MCDST, HDA, CSS (i assume that ought to qualify as a working laptop or laptop expert) playstation - i'm working an AMD Athlon sixty 4 3800+, 2 DVD/CD burners, 2 problematical drives, a imaginitive X-fi Extrememusic sound card, NVidia 6800/256mb, a million.5 gb RAM, all with a 400w ability grant-i think of you would be high quality.

Answer 4

short answer is NO! The slot on the motherboard is designed for a specific amount of pins and your computer will also only accept a certain speed/type of memory

Answer 5

in a word,no...the pins in a memory module are used in a similar way to a.g.p and pci-express graphic cards
each pin on a memory module has a specific task ,so if a pin was damaged the memeory would be unusable
sd-ram is the oldest type of memory and has 168 pins,and has speeds of 100mhz(pc100) and 133mhz(pc133),there was also a 66mhz module(pc66)but these are no longer avalible
ddr-ram(double data rate)is the second generation memory and has 184 pins,this comes in several speeds 266mhz(pc2100),333mhz(pc2700) and 400mhz(pc3200),these are the most popular types of memory but are now being replaced with
ddr 2 memory which have 240 pins and come in even higher speeds,533mhz(pc2/4200) ,667mhz(pc2/5300), 800mhz(pc2/6400),1ghz(pc2/8000),
there are higher speeds in ddr-2 memory but these are very expensive with speeds such as 1100mhz(pc8800) and are aimed at hardcore gamers,and still have 240 pins
i hope this helped
good luck

Answer 6

No it will not, you must get RAM with the right amount of pins or it will not work. Also you should get RAM that is the same speed as the RAM you already have, otherwise you will have wasted money on RAM that is not running at full speed. (All RAM runs at the speed of the slowest stick in the PC)

Answer 7

Yes, i just wanted to sound different, but pins are the least of your issue is it SDRM or DDRAM or BBRAM or anything else your computer could die!!!!


thats not true, just make sure it is the right kind of ram for what you need

Answer 8

no it has to the right number of pins if you try to make it fit you will be getting a new motherboard so get it right

Answer 9

Never try and force memory sticks into your motherboard unless they are the correct type for your specific board you are taking the chance on frying your computer

Answer 10

No, and different types of RAM are also different lengths and fit into slots with barriers are different distances along the way, so it won't come close to fitting.
