Hello there...
I need to buy some new RAM for my computer, now don't laugh as I tell you about my system!
Motherboard: GA-7VAXFS (see the manual here)
CPU: AMD Athlon XP 2200+ (1,67GHZ)
Graphic card: Geforce3 Ti-200 128mb ram
Sound card: Soundblaster Audigy2 ZS
RAM 256mb pc2100 CL2,5
and so on..
Don't mind the ram listed above, they are borrowed, and thats where the whole problem about getting new RAM starts...
I'm looking for a little more speed of course, I use this computer for playing CS:S on until I get enough money to buy a new one, I got about 100 - 125$ to use on RAM right now, I was thinking about buying these "Geil One Series 2x256mb" (sry. about the site being in danish) but I'm not really sure it they will fit my motherboard or if I schould get quantity instead of quality in order to make CS:S run better, also it says in the manual that this motherboard can ONLY use RAM with a voltage of 2.5V (see middle of page 5 in the manual) the geil RAM has a voltage of 2.55 - 3.88V will they fit anyway? also I was told on another forum that this motherboard can run PC3200 RAM but the manual say it can only run PC 1600/2100/2700 who is right? I'm kindda confuzed here and any advice on this is very much appreciated!
Amazingly this old computer runs between 55-65 FPS in CS:S 1024*768 32bit on de_dust2 as it is now, some new RAM and a little overclocking will make it last just a couple of months more...
