i think ure referring to the t6212. the ram it uses is ddr400/pc3200 although it is compatible with ddr333/pc2700. i'm not sure whether dat is possible to run it different speeds. i would rather by the same speed ones at 400mhz. What is the price difference? Is it so much dat ure not willing to fork over the dough?
Also i would not go with the x700 pro as it suks compared to the 6600gt.
at newegg, evga 6600 gt is $160.
Hey All,
I am going to purchase this machine very soon, waiting on tax refund ![]()
I understand it come with 512MB DDR400/PC3200 DIMM (2x256MB sticks) and it has 4 memory slots total.
So I want to leave the 2-256 modules in place and add 2-512MB DDR333/PC2700 DIMM modules. I want to use the PC2700 or DDR333 (I bielve these are the same) because I have one 512MB DDR333/PC2700 DIMM already and then I would only need to purchase 1 more, since you have to have memory modules installed in pairs, I understand. I have read on the motherboards website it accepts DDR333/PC2700 by the way.
You will notice I am trying to run different clock frequency memory modules simultanously. Do you think there would be much conflict?
In my experience it would not be a problem as the DDR400/PC3200 should clock to the lower demoninator, which would be the 512MB DDR333/PC2700 DIMM. Lastly about memory. It's not an issue that all the modules are not of the same capacity is it? Like I don't need all 512's or all 256's or all 1GB modules, right? It never has been for any other pc I have had but want to make sure. Thanks for reading this far by the way!
That would give me 1.5GB memory running @ 333Mhz. I don't honestly think the frequency difference from 333Mhz to 400Mhz is going to be noticable. Do you?
I will also add a x700 Pro PCI-E video card. Which will free up the 128MB shared memory and rock my gaming world, I believe lol.
I am unsure about a sound card. I will most likely hook it up as is and decide from there, it's not that important to me.
I see Best Buy has a 19" CRT Flat Screen Monitor in their ad this week for $129.99 then $30 rebate for $99.99 + tax.
It's their own brand name (Insignia). I have read, so prolly only average performance but still 19"!!
I will add this also
