I have a Celeron 2.4ghz FSB 400 CPU computer running 2x256Mb DDR400 memory.
Can it be replaced with 2x512MB DDR2 memory?
Thanks

Check on the computer vendor's web site or the motherboard manufacturer's
web site or check at crucial.com for your computer / model / board for what
will work. This is not an XP OS question. It should be posted to a
hardware newsgroup.

It is absolutely essential that any new RAM module(s) be fully
compatible with both the motherboard and/or any other RAM module(s)
already in the system. Additionally, there are sometimes jumper
switches on older motherboards that need to be reset for new RAM
configurations. Consult your motherboard's manual or the
manufacturer's web site for specific instructions and compatibility
requirements.

If you cannot lay your hands upon the computer's manual and the
manufacturer doesn't provide a support web site, you can use these
utilities to help determine the correct type of RAM needed:

Also, Crucial Memory's web site (www.crucial.com) has a database
to help to find the right RAM for your specific make and model
computer and/or motherboard.
