RAM

Krsnik87

I have a HP Compaq 330 uT and I'm looking to upgrade the ram. At the moment I have 4 sticks of 128mb PC3200 in the machine. I just found 1GB pc3200u that I wan't to put in.

I was wondering if it will work?

Cheers!

Afraid not Krsnik87.

This is taken directly from the manual of the 330 UT:

For proper system operation, if the computer supports DDR-SDRAM
DIMMs, the DIMMs must be:
■ industry-standard 184-pin
■ unbuffered PC2100 266 MHz-, PC2700 333 MHz-, or PC3200
400 MHz-compliant
■ 2.5 volt DDR-SDRAM DIMMs.
The DDR-SDRAM DIMMs must also:
■ support CAS latency 2 or 2.5 (CL = 2 or CL = 2.5)
■ contain the mandatory JEDEC SPD information
In addition, the computer supports:
■ 128Mbit, 256Mbit, and 512Mbit non-ECC memory technologies
■ single-sided and double-sided DIMMS
■ DIMMs constructed with x8 and x16 DDR devices; DIMMs
constructed with x4 SDRAM are not supported

That basicialy means that 512mb dimms are the biggest you can go.

Thanks for the reply!

Would a 512mb pc3200 work with a 512mb pc3200u?

The u stands for unbuffered, which is what that motherboard requires.
