Dual Channel

I don't know much about physical memory cards but I have a quick question. I have Dell Dim2400 came with DDR PC3200 256MB. I'm going to buy my dad a computer with 1gig of memory and switch it to mine. His is Dual Channel DDR SDRAM at 400MHz. My guess is they are not compatiable, but I just wanted to check first.

Thanks,
Joseph

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Two sticks of RAM is not always better than one in the bush.

Well, I would give him my 256 stick back, so I would have only one in my box.
How do you determine whether or not a mobo is compatible with different RAM sticks?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Does it help to put 2 grades together? For example. If I have a 1GB versus two 512MB, which would be better? (by the way, what does the 400mhz mean?)

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Here's what crucial tells me: PC3200 is listed as an option for this system and will either operate at 266MHz or 333MHz depending on the FSB setting. The system is not capable of operating with an 800MHz FSB so it cannot operate the PC3200 at 400MHz.

I think I will put a 1GB stick in (PC2700)

Attached is a short report of my motherboard. I'm using everest corporate (have to, home won't work on the server) and it's a trial...

I was speaking idiomatically.

My cousin said use newegg but it really doesn't matter. I always have the same feeling too, oh well. Maybe in the future I'll spread my orders around
Joseph

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Interesting articles. Unfortunatly, I've already ordered. I don't see why US Modular isn't good. I don't do any gaming that requires intense memory usage... I got it because my server is getting sluggish because all the roles I added. So, might as well get something good.
I hope this time around I get a good clean order. I think I'll start ordering at newegg
