According to the motherboard manual the pc can handle max 8192mb .The correct memory is DDR2 800mhz/667mhz /533mhz . I was going to install pair of (2x1GB800mhz DDR2 crucial make which are sold as paired kit.
my concern is the pc will have 1024 mb i donot know the speed and the upgrade 2GB with 800mhz speed are they compatible with each other or will i find problems. As she stays some distance from me am not in a position to open the cover and look and donot want to waste 2x512 mb.Thanking in advance for all the help and advice.
ih edit please note i have been since informed that the 1024 (2x512mb are 533mhz so the final concern is can i add 2x1GB 800mhz thanking all
