bonzo Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 I currently have a CMX512-PC2700C2 module. I want to add an additional 512. 1. Since the price is the same can I go with the CMX512-PC3200C2PT (incase I upgrade my MB later)? 2. If I go with the PC2700, is the CMX512-PC2700C2PT functionally the same as the non-PT module (CMX512-PC2700C2)? It looks like the heatsink is the only difference. I am using an ASUS A7V333 with a AMD Athlon XP 2400+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandyKid Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Welcome to the forums, bonzo! Your best bet for compatibilty is to get another module of the same model. The PT and non-PT modules are the same, only the heatspreader color is changed. You could probably get away with a PC3200 module, but you will need to note that the current revision of the 3200C2 module supports only CAS 2.5 on AMD systems.

Wired Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 also, the same revision would be needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandyKid Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 also, the same revision would be needed. It's a single-channel mainboard, so I think w/ a little relaxation of the latencies, even a newer Rev would play nicely, but Wired is correct, getting the same Revision number would make compatibility less of an issue.

bonzo Posted January 3, 2005 Author Share Posted January 3, 2005 OK, so I'll stick with PC2700 (even though I could probably bump up to 3200, but I'll be conservative). When you speak of the Revision being the same - is that with respect to the new PC2700 also (if not, or if revision=PC2700, nevermind the rest)? If so, how do I find the revision of my existing module, and I would think it would be near impossible to order a specific revision when I order my new module. Thanks for your all prompt replies and help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted January 5, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted January 5, 2005 Yes, it is sometimes close to impossible to find a reseller that will tell you what revision of modules they have let alone finding an older revision. It may be easier to find another use for the modules you have now and just order new memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
