Everest doesn't always identify the newer cpu's and motherboards correctly.
How is the system running with the one memory stick in it?
Has it been freezing still with the one stick?

[dylan123]

So far about 2 hours of up time no freeze on 1gig of ram( the 1 gig never frozed so far) , and should i update BIOS since i formatted it i need to reupdate but link everest gave me to update it didnt work?

[rshaffer61]

You never update a BIOS unless it is absolutely needed.
Flashing a bios wrong can result in a useless motherboard.
Being as the 1 gig seems to be stable then what I want to do is have you see what memory configuration your system can have.

Go to HERE and run the Crucial online scanner.
This will give you the exact memory configuration for your system. You do not have to buy the memory from there, but write down the information and if you need assistance in purchasing the upgrade memory GTG can assist with suggestions also.

Alright man thanks for all this help, in your personal oppinion will 1 stick of 1 gig+ 1 stick of 2 gig (corsair) or high brand be better then 2 sticks of same package?

[rshaffer61]

It is always better to have a matching pair of memory.
Also a 32 bit OS will only see and utilize 3.5 gigs of memory at best.
From your specs it looks like you have the 32 bit version of Vista.
I suggest 2 gigs total memory and that way you can be assured everything is compatible and with the newer memory it should be faster then the mixed memory you had before.

[dylan123]

ok but whats better to you? 2 gig 1 stick, 2x1gig, or a 2gig stick + the 1 gig i already have?

[rshaffer61]

2 gigs of 1 stick.
Take out the 1 gig stick and if everything is working correctly with just the 2 gig new memory then you can install the 1 gig stick you have now that is working correctly.
We want to make sure the system stays stable with the new 2 gig stick and then add the old 1 gig stick in.
BTW how is the system running with the 1 gig stick in it for the past 24 hours?

Ok well heres update, Slower! forsure... no freezing on anything windows so far, My world of warcraft game lasted about 45mins till first freeze then they all started like each 5-10mins.. about 5 in total so i stopped playing now.. starting to second guess the ram..

[rshaffer61]

My suggestion....
Buy a new 2 gig stick and a new 1 gig stick. Same manufacturer and same speed.
Take out all the old memory and put all new memory in.

[dylan123]

Yah... i just dont want to waste like 100$ and find out its not that..

[rshaffer61]

100 dollars for 3 gigs of memory or is that for 4 gigs?
What type of memory do you need?
DDR2 Dual channel?
You can get 4 gigs for about the same price.

[dylan123]

Yah i just rounded it out,.. with 14% tax and stuff it would actually prob be like 90$ tax in..

[rshaffer61]

Not bad then as long as it is good memory.
What brand is it or do you have a link that I could look at it?
