ben100014 Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Hi, I am going to upgrade my RAM module from 1 GB of ram (PC 2100 I think) To a module that my dad got me that is 2 gigs. One problem, My "old" motherboard (VIA K7VTA3 V.6.0b) states that it is compatable only with PC 2100 and PC 1600. The RAM I have is PC 3200. I know this is a stupid question, but is there any chance that PC 3200 will work on my "old" motherboard? Quick reply recommended please!Motherboard site.

Kelsenellenelvian Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 In all of my experiences the mobo will just use the ram at the fastest speed it possobly can (333) in this case. So you will be fine.Actually I am running pc3200 in my mobo when it supports 2700. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldwolf Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 The BIG question is.......will your mobo support 2gig modules?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmX.Memnoch Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 The board is actually an ECS board with a VIA KT333 chipset.And no, it won't support a single 2GB DIMM. It supports a maximum of 2GB, but it has to be in two 1GB DIMMs.http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.asp...%28Rev+6%2E0%29I generally check Crucial to see what a motherboard supports, even if I'm not looking to purchase Crucial memory. They've never let me down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
