deaf_girl Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 I've already posted this elsewhereI've finally saved up enough for a 3700+ and a MSI board. And I'm planning on buying pc 3200 when I get the money.My question is can I use my old RAM (1GB of pc2700) and not lose that much in performance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IEatHardDrives Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 It has to be pc3200. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HPoirot36 Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 sell your old ram on ebay.It will go fast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
deaf_girl Posted February 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 I ended up getting a 1GB stick of Corsair. When I get the money I'll get another of the same make and model #. Thanks for your help, guys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aluvus Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Socket 939 only supports pc3200.Untrue.Socket 939 systems will run PC2700, and will do it with relatively little loss of performance. Athlon 64s are not that picky about memory. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aluvus Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 2x256 sticksThe more likely problem is that your specific board didn't work with those specific sticks. Especially if they were the same make/model. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
