Hi everyone im new to these boards but i have a seemingly complicated question about system specific memory.
My setup is a Pentium 4 2.0 Gateway OEM setup
with 256 mb of RDRAM 800mhz, geforce 4 ti4600
now for the question i have
it is obviously time to upgrade my ram and i am confused on which memory to choose, should i go for run of the mill standard memory, such as kingston 256MB PC800-40 Non-ECC 8-Device RIMM * 2, or should i go with the so called system specific memory from gate way (strangley enough still manufactured by kingston) KGW4600/512 512MB RIMM RDRAM KIT(Kingston's KGW4600/512 is a set of two 256MB RIMM modules configured for some of the Gateway E-4600SE, Performance 1300-1500xl, and Professional S sytems. )
What are the benefits, if any, of system specific memory?
Im planning on upgrading within the next year but still want to be able to use this machine. Should i just go run of the mill or the system specific.
Any help will be greatly apprectiated.
Thanks all
