I need to find some good 1gig ram for amd 64 3700. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103622
Yeah but maybe a bit cheaper sammorris? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820220037 Great stuff. Never had a problem It use dto be $76.00 though. It's top-notch stuff and you can't go wrong
That's a single stick, generally two RAM sticks perform better than one because of dual channeling, so for the extra dollar I'd go with the other stuff.
Yeah, go for dual channel. From what I understand, dual channel means double the effective memory speed which means about 20% in performance increase or maybe less...
If you're just doing basic functions though and you just want cheap ram you may want to look into corsair valueselect
alright... this stuff? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820220051 this stuff? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820220037 this stuff? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820220060 this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820220068 this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145440 or something else? lol I just need a lil help... Another question about onboard soundcard does this board have a decent onboard soundcard?(this is the one I got) GIGABYTE S series GA-M55SLI-S4
For the sound, onboard is quite good because it's nForce Audio, a good integrated sound chipset, but even the best onboard can't match even the cheapest PCI sound card for quality. I have an nForce 4 board, but bought a cheap £17 Creative card, primarily because when CPU usage is very high, the sound can get distorted with integrated sound, that never happens with PCI unless the CPU usage is so high the PC can't process sound, in which case it probably can't process anything else, either! With those sticks you're confusing DDR1 with DDR2. DDR2 is what you need for an AM2 motherboard, so we can count links 2,3 and 5 right away. The only difference between 1&4 seems to be the heatspreader. Unless you're overclocking you're very unlikely to need that (and even then having it isn't essentual) so you may as well go with #1.
yay time for the noob question of the day? what is the difference between PC2 4200 cards and this PC2 5300? Cause I found this thingy... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820211012 and this PC2 4200 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820211010 worth getting.. I know nothing.
It's just the speed of the RAM. But you won't be getting those for a 3700+ It won't work with those speeds... Get this, and only this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145440 Athlon 64 processors on the socket 939 are meant to use only ddr400. Any other speeds will most likely act wacky and give you a few problems. Most of those DDR 2 RAM sticks are meant for AM2 and pentium 4's.
Well, you don't really have much of a choice I think, unless your main board is AM2, if it is, I'd upgrade to 1GB of DDR2RAM 800mhz or if your main board cant suppport ddr2 just get ddr 400mhz.>.< I'm kinda newbi at this computer stuff, but yea i hope i helped i bit.
Personally I do some basic gaming, video encoding and editing, along with DVD authoring, and I'm running 1gb dual channel corsair valueselect and I've been very happy with it. Considering an upgrade, maybe to 2 GB or adding a 2gb dual channel set for a total of 3GB but this is on an athlon 64 3500+ clawhammer, and it's been great for me.
