upgrading my RAM

[romano2717]

hi guys,

currently akong pc kay ang RAM nya kay 512MB DDR400. gusto unta ko mag change og ram to 2GIGS. maka support ba kaha ang motherboard nko ane sa? ako gi tan-aw ang motherboard nko unya wla mn nka butang na maximum RAM size. mao ni specs nko ay:
Motherboard: Intel desktop board G865GSA
processor: pentium D cpu 2.8GHZ

mao na cya ang specs nko.. pde kaha ni mka support og upto 2 GIGS of RAM sa? duha mn to ka slot akong RAM sa motherboard.

Salamat!

are you sure that this is the model of your intel motherboard? G865GSA? because normally, intel boards start with "D" kindly check again. Go to intel.com and search for the model. When I searched, there were no results. Normally, 775 sockets I observed, already can take up to 2G's of RAM but speed is limited to 667mhz up to 800mhz. There is nothing wrong if you test it, nothing will be damage if you try using 2G's of RAM then try to see if both rams are read. Be sure you are using same brand and model of RAMs, sometime, intel doesn't read them.

if its intel board and socket 775... support ra na oi...

i'm guessing dili ka support ang imo board ug 2GB. considering DDR pa ang imo board, mga uber-priced board ra sauna ang maka kaya ug ana na capacity sa RAM. check your manufacturer's site to be sure.

consult your manual, i think it should since its pentium D

I'm right people, it can support by just looking on the generation of the board

Intel D865GSA. okey mao diay ni model sko motherboard.hehe sayop ko .
anyway, nka palit kog kingston RAM DDR400 1 GIG duha ka buok, ako gi taod then ni read ako pc og 2GIG of RAM. lipay kaau ko kay 2GIGs na RAM nko pro wla mn koy nakita na kausaban from 512MB to 2GIGs of RAM, ni hinay pa jd sa startup karun na 2GIGs na RAM nko, mo hinay cya dapit sa WELCOME screen og during booting pd mo hinay cya dapit sa kana gne mo display sa RAM size nmo kana black pa ang screen then ang nka register kay 128.0MB pa jd.waaaaa! pro sa bios kay 1GIG sa channel slot A og 1 GIG sa channel slot B, og sa properties sa my computer kay 2GIGs.. ngano kaha ni noh? ng expect jd ko og mas pas-pas na pc nko.. tungod kha ni sa video card nko na 128MB ra?huhuh..
salamat sa mga ni-agi ninyo na reply ha...

Bythe way.. sa kane na sitwasyon sko pc kay bag-o pa ko ng reformat ane ha.

i think ang 128mb is sa videocard na nimo. naa na siya self check bro so kung medyo dako imo RAM like 2GB medyo madugay na siya gamay og mahuman og check... sa sulod sa windows ra na mumatter ang dako na RAM... try running a photoshop cs on a 512mb and compare it with 2GB... pero kung word ra og excel imo application then perting sobraha ra sa imo 2GB...

[carmicael]

time to POST naturally increases in the increase of RAM capacity. kay i check gud na sa system kung ok ba ang full 2048MB. in booting windows, boot time is mostly dependent on the HDD.
