Jonzilla66 Posted June 9, 2005 Author Share Posted June 9, 2005 :roll: What is the Speed and FSB of your CPU? Max Memory : 2.0 GB Expansion Slots : 2 sockets Processor Intel Pentium 4 or Intel Celeron Details : 533/800MHz FSB, Intel 865GV Chipset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted June 9, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted June 9, 2005 You have a 400 FSB CPU and the fastest module your system would support would be PC-2100. Sorry, but you can only use PC-3200 memory if you have an 800 FSB CPU. This is a chipset limitation. If the FSB of your CPU is 400 For Intel and 100 MHz for AMD, the memory speed supports only DDR 266. If the FSB of your CPU is 533 For Intel and 133/166 MHz for AMD, the memory speed supports DDR 266/333 If the FSB of your CPU is 800 MHz for Intel and 200 MHz for AMD, the memory speed supports DDR 333/400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted June 10, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted June 10, 2005 What is the speed of your CPU? It looked like you said 2.0 Ghz, at least thats what I had thought. But it looks like you just gave me the system spec not what I had asked. And if you have a 533 FSB CPU then the memory speed supported would be DDR333.

Wired Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor w/ HT Technology (3GHz, 800 FSB) Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor (2.80GHz, 533 FSB) Those are the 2 options I found for that PC on their site. Is it 3.0 Ghz, or 2.8 Ghz? If you don't know, you can log into their support site here and you can find out all of the specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
