GA-P31-DS3L - selection of RAM memory.

Question

I bought an album And my question is, how much memory can I give for that? Because the specification is 4GB, but for one slot?

dt1 · Answer

Welcome. The specification says that the board supports a total of 4GB for all slots. Modules up to 2GB are tested, the board officially supports DDR2-667 and DDR2-800. In the manual you can read that you should avoid mounting two double-sided memories on a single channel (if you are going to fill only two memory slots, 2 GB each, it does not matter whether they are single-sided or double-sided, but if you want to buy 4x1GB, they should not they are only double-sided bones).

Double-sided single what is the difference. Added after 2 [minutes]: DDR2 1066 (OC) / 800/667 memory support, but here it follows that 3 types of memory can be used.

dt1 · Answer

Two-sided have systems on both sides of the module. One-sided layouts only have one side, the other side is blank. One type (DDR2), different speeds. Pay attention to the note OC. In the official specification the max is DDR2-800, the DDR2-1066 memory will be released from the machine to DDR2-800, you can overclock it to the DDR2-1066 level if you want (OC). The manual only mentions DDR2-667 / 800 memory, not mentioning the 1066.

Give me something from the Allegro to match the record. And how to overclock the ddr because higher frequency is probably better work?

dt1 · Answer

With this platform, you won't notice much of a difference, it's not the RAM that will be limiting the hardware speed, but most likely the CPU from the last decade. Find any DDR2-800 2x2GB and it should work. Memories cannot be of ECC type (sometimes labeled Registered). If you find something interesting, you can add it to the evaluation. If you have a 32 bit Windows version then you may as well buy 3GB RAM (2 + 1GB), the 32bit system won't be able to use the full 4GB.

Well, I have what Xp Professional but I would change to 7 because I have a laptop. And no updates to xp. So I'd rather fill Max's memory.

Robert B · Answer

The construction is old from 10 years ago, therefore absolutely not giant I guess if you bought a new one, you overpaid heavily comparing much newer boards to the old socket 775. The chipset has huge limitations in terms of module stocking and I doubt that you will manage to overclock the memory sensibly, because even faster, the board will downgrade to 800 anyway. Forcing will most likely end in a series of bluescreen screens.

Sorna · Answer

Will something like this work?

dt1 · Answer

It's such a minimum. Slightly Better: e.t.c.

Sorna · Answer

Hehe mine were carrion, compared to this record and parts, it's epilepsy. Old computer AMD 3500 processor.
Asus a8 sli se motherboard.
6600GT graphics card.
Now I have replaced it with intel core 2 duo E8400
And graphics for 9600GT

Added after 8 [minutes]:

Why are these DDR better? I can see that they probably have additional cooling.

Robert B · Answer

And the brand and model of the power supply?

dt1 · Answer

And lower latency (CL), memories from your link have CL6 if I checked correctly.

Sorna · Answer

450W power supply, I don't remember the model.

dt1 · Answer

Then check the computer.
