I bought my PC a couple of years ago and it has the ASUS A8R-MVP motherboard - which allows upto 4Gb RAM
It came with 2GB (2x 1GB) and taking the side off today and looking at the RAM sticks they are "RENDITION" - RM12864Z40B - 1GB DDR400 PC3200.
I'm looking to get another 2GB to take me up to my full quota on the mobo.
Looking at the OcUK site they don't appear to sell the exact type, but they do sell Crucial 1GB DDR PC3200 CAS3 - but it states 200Mhz - is this the same as DDR400?
Another site does sell the 1 GB DDR400 Rendition DIMM 184pin PC3200 - but is a little more expensive and I want to "keep it in the OcUK family"!!
What is the best choice? Is the OcUK compatible with my exisitng mobo and memory?
Or would it be better to scrap the other memory I have and install a later technology - DDR3 for example - or is my mobo not compatible?
Thanks in advance!
