Post More RAM please

Hi guys

I'm after upgrading the Ram in my computer. I'm after PC 2100 DDR SDRAM 133 MHz.

Can anyone recommend any good sites on the net?


Thanks in advance

I assume you mean DDR RAM? It can be SDRAM or DDR, but not both.

I 'd buy it from Overclockers.co.uk. I'd go for the Crucial. You might be able to shave a few pence off getting it elsewhere, but the service at OcUK would take some beating.

If its DDR 2100 it runs at a double clock bus speed of 2x133mhz = 266mhz.

The fact it's called "PC2100" suggests that it's DDR. What CPU is it?

Nope, DDR is still SDRAM

I'd suggest Crucial.com.

OK, I stand corrected. But I don't know anyone apart from some manufacturers and you who calls DDR SDRAM, even if it's technically true. Most people use it to mean the old single-data rate stuff. But I think we're agreed on Crucial...

Thanks for all the help and advice guys.

I went to www.novatech.com as it was only 10 minutes from where i live. What a nice bunch of people there and a nice showroom.

Another vote for Crucial here. If you know the make/model of your PC, then you can use the "Wizard" on their site to identify exactly what spec of memory you should be buying. I've bought oodles of Crucial memory over the years and have never had any problems whatsoever with their kit.
