this is the reverse problem; i am curious about building a computer with ddr2 pc2 6400 800mhz 200pin so dimm, 4 x 1gb modules
originally upgrading a very old pc with ddr pc 3200.
order came in as ddr2 modules that are not compatible
i ordered the correct modules and will upgrade my very old xp x64 amd 4400+
but, i now still have the wrong memory. my two options are to return the memory or build a new pc using this old technology. honestly, if i were building a new system, i'd use bleeding edge technology. after all, that's how my amd processor from 2004 is still able to keep going. the 4400+ has just been an incredible experience.
but let's not get distracted. i can't do virtualization. i/o tasks take a long time. i understand the limitations of my current system. the worse part is that i can't find current web browsers. so i was considering building another system. but i wasn't expecting it to be with ddr2.
i have no idea where to start. should i build with the most cost effective parts, or should i use the best available parts. i can't see placing these in slots designed for ddr4 16gb chips. so i'm leaning toward the cost effective route. can i build a decent system with low tdw with this memory ? i would appreciate a few suggestions.
