    Hello again,

    I need more memory for my computer, and the non-quake bit is that i need it in order to play quake3 the thing is I'm not sure what sort of memory i need.

    What i have is a "gateway g6 233" if anyone has one and has upgraded their memory I would be very glad to know what type of memory they used thanks for your help

    bye for now

    You can use just ordinary sdram
    costs about £50 for 32megs but
    if anybody knows of a better price then
    reply
    quake3 will still be unplayable on a p233 tho

    As i recall I can beat you while I'm on a p233 and your on a p500 Phil.

    it'll b playable on a P233 so long as you have a decent gfx card, at least a v2 12m. You'll average about 25fps when fully tweaked.

    Your system is definitely 66mhz.
    100mhz bus came with 300mhz PII cpus and higher as far as I know.

    And I presume 66mhz is cheaper cos it's obsolete. but it might be in short supply so might be dearer.

    Check www.scan.co.uk for an idea.

    Thanks for the replies but I was wondering if anyone knew what bus speed I needed more than the sdram part(which I already knew). I'm going for 100Mhz if noone knows but i don't want to fu... sorry wreck my computer so if theres a way to be sure I'll take it.

    100MHz wont fry your system but all you need is 66MHz if you have a 233 system.

    Jimmy...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,099 ✭✭✭✭WhiteWashMan



    and if you add pc100 ram to your system which has bus speed of 66mhz, then it will still run at 66mhz....funnily enough


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,660 ✭✭✭Baz_


    So are you saying my system is 66Mhz or was that just a knowledgeable comment. And if I add 66Mhz to a 100Mhz sys what happens and finally is 66Mhz cheaper.

    bye for now
