Topic: help. RAM & VC queries

[Jann Frost]

pano po ba malalaman kung anong klase ng ram ang pwede sa pc ko? kung sasabihin nyo sakin ay tignan ko ang motherboard ko at tignan ang name o type ng MoBo ko, san ko makikita yun? kasi gsto ko sana mag upgrade to 1gb for a game. and isa pa pong tanong ay kung built-in ang VC ko, pwede ko pa ba sya lagyan ng VC? hindi ba magloloko? at pano ko rin malalaman kung what type of VC ang ilalagay ko. pakiexplain naman po sana ng mabuti para magets ko, wag yung one-liner na answer. maraming maraming salamat po.

mas madaling masagot ang mga tanong mo kung i-post mo rin dito ang brand at model ng motherboard mo.

base sa brand at model ng mobo mo, masasabi natin kung anong speed ng memory at ilan ang kayang i-support nito.

pwede kang mag lagay ng video card as long as may slot (AGP) ang mobo mo para dito. normally, pag naglagay ka ng video card, automatic ma-disable ung built-in na video card. again, depende rin sa mobo mo ang feature na ito.

search mo rin sa net at download mo ang manual ng mobo mo. malaking tulong na may kopya ka nito. 

[Jann Frost]

complete set kasi binili pc ng mga magulang ko, wala akong alam pagdating sa ganyan eh. hindi ko nga alam kung anong tatak ng mobo ko, yun nga rin gsto ko itanong sainyo kung pano malalaman. help naman sana. 

[dubious]

try these software, for identifying your mobo:

http://www.lavalys.com/products/download.php?pid=1&lang=en&pageid=3

may mga trial versions sila

[Jann Frost]

safe ba yan gamitin?

[Jann Frost]

heto pare nakuha ko na galing sa binigay mong program para makita. ito lng mga kinuha ko, i think dito palang malalaman na. di ko magets eh.

From your images, you have a PC2700 MoBo. So you need to buy a RAM chip for PC2700's. 

[tekcop]

much better nga sir kung mag dagdag ka ng VC kasi pag built in ang ginamit mo lakas kumain ng memory halos kalahati kinakain nya.. nweiz kung gusto mo makamura sa PCX ka lang pumunta sobrang mura dun...

[Jann Frost]

@kalel

what kind of pc2700 ill buy? may ddr ako nkikita? ddr-2 ba yun? sdram? sory ha wala kasi me alam.

@tekcop
hindi ba maaapektuhan itong pc ko pag nagdagdag me ng VC dahil builtin lng VC ko? ang sabi mapapatungan na daw ng bbilin kong VC ang built-in?

as far as I know (other spies can correct me if I'm wrong), PC2700 RAM is DDR that can run up to 333MHz. When and if you buy, all you need is to tell the sales clerk that you need a PC2700 RAM and the memory that you need, may it be 256MB, 1GB, and so on.

On VC, if you have a VC slot on your MoBo, pag naglagay ka ng VC, it will override your on-board VC.

ayun, naliwanagan din ako. salamat kaespiya. 
nga pala, 1GB hanap ko, sana may mahanap na mura lang.

yun nga palang sa VC, sabi dito, pci supported, tapos agp supported.
eh sabi ng sir ko, kung di supported ng agp, supported ng pci akin.
eh parehong supported, pwede ko bilan ng pci itong akin ganon ba?

[Shadow_Brainiac]

Kung me manual ka ng mobo mo.....makikita mo sya kung agp or pci-e.........mostly kasi agp ang mga nasa mobo (mobo means motherboard)  at ung pci-e don sa mga higher model na ng board at proc na gagamitin.  Usually kapag built in ang videocard mo......nahahati ang nagshashare ang memory mo para sa video output mo.....then try mong tignan kung me agp slot sya......kung wala syang agp slot........at kung gusto mong gumamit ng videocard ay humanap ka ng videocard na pci type......alam ko available sya.....meron ako dati nyan kaso mo nabenta ko na.....at isinama ko sa package na naassemble ko.......

ui boss, nagrely kasi ako dun sa hardwareinfo detector na binigay sakin nung nasa taas. kung titignan mo yung pic eh nakalagay pci supported, agp supported.
wala kasi yung manual eh.

from the ss nga, i dont see the mobo brand (though im guessing its asus)

you have a AGP slot for your video card, your pc is socket 775

PC2700 is DDR333, and you only have 256MB of ram and since your video is on board then your actual ram is lower than 256MB. so yeah adding another RAM module will be of great help. however, mahirapan ka maghanap ng DDR333 these days. you can go for PC3200 (DDR400) since your mobo will support it. but, there might be a compatability issue with the existing DDR333 installed.

boss bodie salamat sa reply.
medyo naaalala ko na, asrock yata mobo ko.
ask lang, pwede ko ba samahan ng 1GB ang 256 ram ko? at sabi kasi ng napagtanungan ko sa shop knna, wala daw sila ng pc2700, pero pwede daw ang pc3880 ddr400 sa pc ko. pero eto sabi mo pwede din ang pc3200 ddr400, pero bigla mo yata binawi sa compatability issue. di ko tuloy nakuha. chaka kung AGP nga akin, ano yung socket 775?

salamat po, sana lahat ng tanong ko masagot.


-edit

added question lng, ano mairerekomenda nyo sakin na bilin kong VC? kahit 256mb lng.

sa compatibility, and ibig sabihin ni boss bodieph eh, pag-sabay mong ginamit yung mga RAM mo baka magkaroon ng problema. Kaya para sure ka, isa lang sa kanila ang nakalagay. It's adviced that you use RAM chips that are the same...kung pc3200 ddr400 ang isa, mas maganda the rest ganun din.

on the VC, I would recommend nVidia or ATI...

ah meaning aalisin ko na yung stock na nakalgay dito kung ilalagay ko yung bibilin kong bago na ddr400 ganon ba? at yung sa VC naman, kailan ko ba tgnan sa mobo ko kung AGP lang ba o x8? tapos hahanap ako ng VC na agp x8 ganon ba?

[dubious]

your mobo is ASRock 775VM800,

http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=775VM800Pro-DDR2

here's the link to the manual (and the drivers) of your mobo

http://www.asrock.com/support/download.asp?Model=775VM800

para sure ka na sa mga specs na idadagdag mo. 

[Jann Frost]

subukan kong intindihin. medyo wala ako lam dyan pagdating sa ganyan.

[bodieph]

agp 8x means it supports agp cards that are 8x speed. you shouldnt worry much about this since this is the last agp speed available. its also backward compatible so you can use agp 4x (even 2x) video cards (though halos ala na yung mga yun, puro na 8x ang natira ngayon)

video card? agp yan right? my recommendation is ATI...maybe the 9550EE if you can still find it

ok boss, pero pardon for my innocence, can you give me some products na pwede sa pc ko? hindi yung basta ATI or Nvidia, yung may 9550EE for example. salamat po.

[Kal-El]

  tol  Jann, sorry at masyadong generic ang sagot ko about recommended VC. I said that kasi I trust that you'd do your research on it since ikaw ang nakakaalam ng kailangan mo. Those are the two brands that are well trusted, with ATI leading the way. Search mo lang sa google yung mga ATI/ nVidia 256MB (or whichever capacity you want) na AGP.  Pero, ofcourse I bet boss bodieph will have great suggestions...

hinde mo na kelang yan tpos trial pa..google mo ung CPUZ libre yan...makikita lahat ng nasa PC mo..SAFE din!!

bro my ddr33 pa sa pcx sa gilmore dun ako bumili last last week e. 512mb cost around 16++ only
