What kind of RAM do I buy???

sachin tendulkar · 11-24-2002, 08:06 PM

I just bought a Dell, with 128mb 333mhz DDR Ram.
Anyone know 'exactly' what I have to look for in the specifications, when I buy more memory? (Is it PC2100 or PC2700 or just 333Mhz or whatever??)

Im a little confused here!

Thanks

The memory you want is PC2700 aka DDR333

The memory timing CAS2 is faster than CAS2.5

The memory I'd buy is Crucial or Corsair or Samsung.
Places to buy: http://www.googlegear.com
http://www.newegg.com

Code:

Data Rate  Module  Peak Bandwidth
DDR200     PC1600   1.6GB/sec
DDR266     PC2100   2.1GB/sec
DDR333     PC2700   2.7GB/sec
