icemachine32 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I was wondering what I need to do if I wanted to max out my computer memory? I have 1gb right now. What are my options? I do need registered memory because of my mb. Any help thanks. My motherboard memory summary says: 4 184-pin ddr dimm sockets supports dual channel ddr400/ddr333/ddr266/ddr200 dimm only supports registered dimms with a 64-bit / 128-bit data bus with 8-bit / 16-bits of error correcting code (ECC) supports 128mb/256mb/512mb/1gb/2gb dram supports up to 8gb dram (Max) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Corsair Modules Compatible with the Gigabyte GA-K8NNXP-940 It's not recommended to mix part #s, so you'll have to replace your current memory, unless you can find more of that same part # / version # somewhere (How To Read the Memory Label).

icemachine32 Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 So the only way to keep the memory I have and to add to it is to buy the same twinx1024re-3200llpt memory stick and that would only get me 2gbs total? Otherwise I would have to take it out and get 3 of the CM72SD1024RLP-3200 DDR-400 (PC-3200) RDIMM 1GB 2.5v 3-3-3-8-1T memory sticks so then I'm able to have the max (3gb)? I thought though since I have 4 slots I have to use 1 and 3 together and 2 and 4 together if I understand correctly, or is there another option? Or do you recamend getting the CM75SD2048RLP-2700 DDR-333 (PC-2700) RDIMM 2GB 2.5v 2.5-3-3-7-2T memory stick and scrap the one I have, isn't this not as powerful as if I were to buy 2 or 3 single CM72SD1024RLP-3200 DDR-400 (PC-3200) RDIMM 1GB 2.5v 3-3-3-8-1T memory sticks? Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 30, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 30, 2008 The bottom line is all of the modules would need to be match for that system, if not the system might not post or run properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icemachine32 Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 Thanks for the reply. My understand of it is get three CM72SD1024RLP-3200 DDR-400 (PC-3200) RDIMM 1GB 2.5v 3-3-3-8-1T memory sticks and install them in slots 1, 2, 3, and the fourth one would be empty, right? That would give 3gbs max it out. Let me know thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 30, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 30, 2008 I don't think you can run three modules with that MB either 1, 2 or 4 modules as I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icemachine32 Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 I purchased the twinx2048-3200cc2pt memory sticks to max out my memory so I would have a total of 3gbs well it doesnt post it beeps. I but it in the right slots 2, 4. The memory I have is not on the list that corsair says to use for my mb and it works fine. do I have to go with the 2700 2gb one the list to make a total of 3gb? any ideas thanks. Should I return the twinx2048-3200cc2pt memory sticks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 21, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 21, 2008 If you have a socket 940 MB those modules would not be compatible you would need to use registered memory with that system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
