I'm considering buying (2x) Patriot 1GB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200). Any recommendations about this deal?

patriot ram is really good brand i love them same with corsair no problem with both great products but if you want good speed or anything try to get a 2.0 latency... also i hope your not buying those retail?? 2x 1gb would be like $205 if you get the 2.0 latency wow patriot memory is more expensive than i thought but here check out newegg unless your already there looking for prices\n\nalso in furthur notes... 3.0 latency patriot ram is $65+shipping per stick of ram\n\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820220030\n\n3.0^\n\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820220045\n\n2.0^

Excellent deal here.  The purpose of the double RAM set is that the computer will be reading faster, and this takes the stress off of just using one chip.  You will have plenty of speed with this demon, and more than enough memory for even some of the most tasking programs.  Hope this helps

No it's not 184 pin.  Laptop memory is different.  DDR2 laptop memory is 200 pin.  check the link below for NewEgg.com for laptop memory prices.  Uou also need to know what speed your memory is, like DDR2 400, DDR2 533 or DDR2 667.

I like to use crucial.com. They have reasonable prices, and the RAM is guaranteed to work with your computer.

No, your board doesn't support DDR2.  Here's the link to the specifications page for that board, on the Gigabyte website: http://www.gigabyte.us/MotherBoard/Products/Products_Spec_GA-8S661FXM-775.htm  Also, the speed of your RAM won't matter, if you're planning on replacing the stick that's installed in it now.  Of course, the motherboard only has two DIMM slots, so to have 2GB, you'll have to replace it.  Also, the lower the latency on the RAM you buy, the more performance you'll get out of it.  Try looking for some 1GB sticks with 2-3-2-5 timing, for max performance.

Corsair 2 GB TWINX2048-3500LLPRO matched memory kit is best if your not overclocking. You can use 1T rate. \n\nLet the Corsair Configurator Recommend the Right Module for Your System:\nhttp://www.corsairmemory.com/corsair/configurator_search.html\n\nCorsair Configurator \nForum topics about this motherboard\nCheck the link there to see the latest discussions in the Ram Guy forum about the Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe\n\nFor 2GB under $215, you might have to use value select.

Your new RAM must be DDR2...Besides, nothing else will fit as DDR2 has 240 pins, DDR has 184 pins and older SDRAM has 168 pins (for desktops anyway...laptops have a different number of pins than desktops, but each type still carries a separate number of pins from the other types).  Use the recommended speed as Dell computers are built only to handle a certain speed and, generally, are not upgradeable much less downgradeable.  Using memory of a different speed can cause your computer not to boot up and could possibly cause damage to the memory and/or motherboard.  Placing them in pairs is not absolutely necessary nor is using identical memory size chips, however, if you do use 2 sticks of identical memory, it gives the added benefit of using Dual-Channel which significantly enhances the performance of your memory and processor and, thus, your whole system.

Matched pairs are important for dual-channel DDR memory.  If your motherboard does not support dual-channel, just buy another stick of the brand that's in it.

I looked up your system at http://www.coastmemory.com/\n\nHere are the two systems:\nSystem Specs \n Type of system: Laptops \n Bus Architecture: PC Card (PCMCIA) \n Comments: 100MHz FSB \nSystem Memory \n Standard Memory: 128 MB (removable) \n Maximum Memory: 512 MB \n Maximum Expansion: 2 sockets \n Comments: PC100 SDRAM SODIMMs \n\nSystem Specs \n Type of system: Laptops \n Bus Architecture: PC Card (PCMCIA) \n Comments: 133MHz FSB, Intel 830MG Chipset. \nSystem Memory \n Standard Memory: 128 MB (removable) \n Maximum Memory: 1.0 GB \n Maximum Expansion: 2 sockets \n Comments: PC133 SDRAM SODIMMs  \n\nIf you checked the markings can can't tell between the 100MHz and 133MHZ, you might open up the memory cover and look to see what is already inside.  These are often marked. \n\nThis company offers a guarantee that it will work.   So if you make an error, just call them and get the RMA number.  They currently sell the 512MB stick for $95.00.  1.800.4MEMORY  \n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

There are thoudsands ones. And over 90% mainboard support for DDR (DDR1 as you said), which may also support DDR2.  We have other 2 types are DRam and Ram Bus, but they are "pasted" way.\n\nJust read the information on the wrbsites of these companies, you will know what type of memory they support

If you have an empty slot them you can add another stick of RAM.  Make sure it's the same kind.  You can easily trade out your old CDROM for a CDROM/RW.  Just pull the old one out and replace it with the new one.  You can pick up PC parts really cheap from eBay.

I don't know where you could find a list, but the 200 pin sodimm has only been common for a couple years.  It's a pretty safe bet that anything older than 3 years old can't use that RAM.  It is also a safe bet that anything less that 2 years old can use that RAM.\n\nI would try a RAM manufacturers website like Cruical.com or the like to see if they provide some sort of memory selector.  That might help

dont use ur old stuff unless its ddr2 ... if its older than 6 months it isnt ... dont mix the types or you'll slow everything down , just add another 512 if you have a SINGLE stick, and check out the site the guy above mentioned to get the same speed memory ... if you have two sticks of mem now they are 256 each and most likely in dual channel configuration ... in that case i would get the same speed memory but buy (2) 512s' or (2)1gig sticks ... if you break up a pair of sticks in dual channel or add a third you will slow things down also ...

OK Does the computer work with the old RAM stick in? On the RAM slot, have you made sure the chip is pressed in firmly and that the 2 clips on the end have locked on? If yes, have you put it in the right way round? (usually impossible to do but hey, been there myself before lol). If you have more than one slot, try putting in both RAM sticks together and on the power up does computer count up the memory test and has it increased?

Agreed..... check out the crucial web site and find out exactly what kind of RAM your computer will support.  But even if it says you can use the two sticks you already have, you could have some other compatibility issues.\n\nThe 512MB may be 333MHz instead of 266Mhz like the 256 stick.  Even if you could run them together, the different frequencies could be a problem.  Your computer might run at the slower frequency (if, in fact, the 512 has a different frequency, is  it also backwards compatibile.  Meaning, will it actually work at a slower frequency.)\n\nThe second issue is whether or not your computer will accept two different RAMs or do they have to be the same (in pairs.)  If the computer will accept different RAMs, make sure to check if they need to be installed in any particular order.  Some computers require that the largest stick be placed in slot # 1, the next largest in slot # 2, etc.\n\nAnd finally,find out if your new computer's warranty will remain in effect if you choose to deviate from the manufacturer's specs.  Nothing worse than spending big bucks on a computer, violating specs, needing repairs, and spending more on the repairs than you did on the whole computer because you trashed your warranty trying to save a few bucks.

You might be better off going to Crucial.com or one of the other good memory sites and letting them test your machine.  They can tell you exactly which configuration will and won't work on your motherboard.  It's possible to save a lot of money by getting an expert's advice on that.
