Hi
I am buying some RAM for someone else's computer. It's a Dell Dimensions 3100.
It currently has only 512 Meg Ram in it but It can take up to 2Gig of Ram.
I have used the Crucial Scanner website to find the right ram for it but I have some questions about RAM speeds.
I am buying 2 x 1GB sticks but want to get the fastest I can. What aspects of the below specifications indicate a faster type of RAM?
Is it 'Unbuffered' or is it the 'CL' number for example.
Or is RAM which is claimed to be 'Low Density' or 'High Density' more important for speed? Basically I'm looking for the fastest RAM for the Dell Dimensions 3100 computer.
Thanks very much. Specs below.
DDR2 PC2-5300
• CL=5
• Unbuffered
• NON-ECC
• DDR2-667
• 1.8V
• 128Meg x 64
• Part #: CT908192
