Answer 2

hi david ,the web site you want is http://www.crucial.com/,this can help you to check your current memory specifications and also advise you on any future upgrades
run the online scanner and you will get a report on what memory you need to purchase,and even buy it direct from crucial
alot of p.c users think it just a case of just buying the same memory type(ddr,ddr2,sdram)however there are many other factors you need to take into account when buying memory,other factors include.............................
1.size...you must look in your mobo manual and find the max installable memory,and work out the best configuraton to fill these banks at the cheapest possible price
2.frequency...the higher the frequency the better the memory will run,from 100/133mhz in sdram up to 1100mhz in the new generation of ddr2 modules
3.make....the make of memory can be a important part when purchasing ram,kingston and crucial are good budget modules but corsair and ocz are much higher performing memory,ideal for gamers
4.latency...In computing, memory latency is the time between initiating a request for a byte or word in memory until it is retrieved. If the data are not in the processor's cache, it takes longer to obtain them, as the processor will have to communicate with the external memory cells. Latency is therefore a fundamental measure of the speed of memory: the less the latency, the faster the reading operation
6.timings...these are specs that appear like 2-2-2-5 and 2.5.3-3-8..you also see words like cas(Column Address Strobe or Column Address Select)and trcd(Row Address Strobe/Select to Column Address Strobe/Select)These are the timings for the memory, or the speed at which it processes certain commands. This whole settings area can be quite confusing and you have to have a certain knowledge of it, if you plan on overclocking.
Certain memories can take tighter (lower) timings at higher speeds. These are the more expensive memory modules out of the bunch. There are also other timings to consider in your BIOS. Not all boards will have options like these.
many users purchase memory only to fit it and then find out the p.c wont boot,this acn be due to latency,timings,however dont get confused by all these specifications,if you take the crucial report with you when you buy your memory,any assistant who works in a decent p.c store will understand the specifications and will sell you the correct memory
another website worth looking at is http://www.kingston.com/tools/default.asp,this will give you some valuable info on different technical issues to do with memory
i hope this helps
good luck mate!
