mobo and cpu combo question

[foothead]

It stops me at 3.25, even though I have 4.
All 4 work in linux.

Either way, I''d say its upgrade time.

Why not save up your pennies until you can buy a new system? It would seem a better thing to do than to dump money into an aging computer.

Ya. that will work but is almost def. verry slow.

What is its speed?

I know it is DDR2 but I forget the speed. What would the options be because if I see them I could probs tell you. Does 3300 sound right?

This will tell you your memory speeds: CPU-Z

Yes, that might be the way I might go unless my uncle atomic rooster can build me one and give to me as my christmas present. lol

No 3300 is way too fast.

You need 800mhz in general for gaming, but 1066 is what you want.
It's cheap. I'm fairly sure yours isn't 800 or higher being only 1gb's and 512mb's

LOL! If I were independently wealthy, one would be waiting on your doorstep Christmas eve. .

where? I just used that and looked under memory. Do I look at DRAM frequency? If so, it says 333.3 MHz. Is that right?

hey wait a minute. I heard you were a member of Paul Allen's family so you can't tell me you are not independently wealthy. You and everyone else wishes. LOL

Yeah.
That RAM sucks!!!!!!!!!!
Trash it and get some nice 1066.

 

[Celticsfan]

My FSB is 800 MHz if that is what u meant.

Yeah.

How can I tell? It doesn't say it on the package it came in.
