Hi all
I have done quite a bit of digging regarding this subject but I am still
left unsure as to what I need to do.
I have an Intel D850EMV2 mobo with a P4 running 2.53Ghz (533FSB) and 2 x
256Mb non-ECC Pc800-45 RDRAM (I know this RAM should be 40ns - but
that's how it came and it seems to work ok!)
I would like to upgrade this RAM with another 512Mb. So all I need is:
2 x 256Mb Pc800-40 (non-ECC or ECC - don't think it matters as I am not
bothered about ECC functionality).
My question regard the pinouts. According to the manual thise RIMMs are
in fact 168 pin RIMMS. The only compatible RIMMS I have tracked down
(and on eBay for that matter) are 184 pin - so presumably they won't
work.
My question is firstly - am I missing the point - will 184 pin RIMMS
work?
Secondly, if they won't, then has anybody got any suggestions where I
might get some 168 pin RIMMS of this spec.
Many many thanks for any help here - spent quite a bit of time
researching but still not 100% certain on what I need to do.
Regards
