Whity_Ford Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I want to finally upgrade to 2Gb, but I can not find another CMX1024RE anywhere. I have searched every vendor linked from corsair's page, also checked ebay. I did find one seller that had some TWINX2048RE, but he wants nearly $500 for them :eek: Is this a waste of time? Should I just wait and build another computer with a type and brand of memory that is easier to find? Or does anyone know of someone that might have this in stock? This is quite frustrating, I was hoping to stretch this computer out for another year, but if I can't upgrade the memory, I may be stuck...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 18, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 18, 2006 The FX53 cpu will force you to run at 333MHZ if you upgrade to 4 modules. Just stick with the 2 sticks and save your money for the next system. The 3200REs are discontinued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whity_Ford Posted November 18, 2006 Author Share Posted November 18, 2006 I have 1 CMX1024RE already (per YOUR suggestion), want to go to 2 now that I can afford it, but alas I'm screwed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 18, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 18, 2006 Sorry Whity Ford...basically all the DDR1 RAM are soon to be discontinued, besides standard DDR400 RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whity_Ford Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 ok, so after some research I have noticed that many server memory modules are still Registered/ECC and DDR400 PC3200 will these work in place of the one cmx1024RE I already have?, or best bet, in tandem with it? I have noticed that the server memory is cheaper, but I am not completely sure why.... I would love to continue using Corsair Memory, but I may be forced to another brand to continue using my current configuration any help is as always, greatly appreciated :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 21, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 21, 2006 Yes it should work with it. CM72SD1024RLP-3200 should but you will not want to run them in Dual channel unless both modules are matched! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whity_Ford Posted December 22, 2006 Author Share Posted December 22, 2006 ok, I'm a noob and I don't understand what you mean by Dual channel unless both modules are matched I really just want the extra ram space for freaking BF2's overbloated &&&.... sigh....

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 22, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 22, 2006 Your MB has four slots and if you install two modules in slots 1-3 I think it is it will be in dual channel. You can try and see if the system is stable but if you have problems I would install them so the system is in single channel slots 1&2 and go from there.
