arkantos91 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I need to know if the XMS 2 Dual Channel DDR 2 Memory Kit (TWIN2X2048-6400) is compatible with the following HP motherboard model : 09F0H. The ram specs can be found here: TwinX Corsair Ram Kit Here's the mobo specifications, showing also the specs of the currently installed ram by the manufacturer (Hewlett Packard). http://i.imgur.com/0NA1Rto.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/0IwRu6v.png http://i.imgur.com/NttIhkl.png If there is no compatibility, which ram should I buy instead? I need 2 gigs of ram, best if 2 x 1 gb kits to allow dual channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Yes, they would be compatible. However if you are planning on adding this to your existing set i would really suggest you purchase a matched 4 gig kit. The two sets(your existing) and the new set have totally different specs on them There is no way Corsair can guarantee that these will run along with your existing set. Mixing/combining memory can be hit or miss at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's based on the cpuz screenshots of the currently installed ram? Which details exactly, if I may ask? PS: I won't use the new ram along with the old ones: I'll be using only the new ones which will be more than enough :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Well, I'm embarrassed to say I may have been wrong about this. Just one question (my curiosity): how can you say they would be compatibile ? It's based on the cpuz screenshots of the currently installed ram? Which details exactly, if I may ask? Usually you can go by basic system configurations. CPU/chipset and so on. Just because corsair doesn't have them listed doesn't mean they are not compatible. Just not tested. But in this case I believe the modules available today for that MB may be made from memory IC's that are too dense for that MB ...at least according to Intels white papers. Looking at your CPUz screnshots shows you max speed would be 532mhz. Most systems would take faster memory and default to the slowest speed allowed by your MB which usually isn't a big deal. But these newer modules probably wouldn't be seen by the BIOS because of the IC's used to build them. But, yeah, please let RamGuy put his thought to this before you buy them. But I'm thinking you may have a hard time finding memory for that MB unless you can find some older sticks laying around somewhere. I apologize if I'm wrong in my first response!:o: Hey BTW...Is this your thread? I was looking for more information and think i stumbled across it.:p: http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Business-PCs-Compaq-Elite-Pro/HP-09f0h-Motherboard-Ram-Compatibility/m-p/5963417 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkantos91 Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 Yes, that'is also my thread there in HP forums, but still didn't get any answer... Don't worry about your answer; now I hope Ram Guy can solve this compatibily fact and suggest me if buy those Corsair or another product in case the first ones are not compatibile! Edit: While waiting for Ram Guy arrival, I think I have found some other useful information. It's the HP Official Page for the desktop pc I'm going to do this ram updagrade: HP Compaq Business Desktop dc7600 Convertible Minitower PC As shown in the specification table: http://i.imgur.com/K1v1UZI.png I think these can definitely help both you and Ram Guy in telling me if the chosen Twin X Corsair kit it's compatible, or, in case they're not in suggesting me a pair of compatible ones. Maybe a pair of these 667 Mhz should be fine : Corsair 1.8 Volt 667 Mhz DDR2 Memory (VS1GB667D2) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 14, 2013 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 14, 2013 I am sorry but we would not have memory that is compatible with this system at this time sorry! I would suggest asking the System manufacturer if they have memory that is available for your system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peanutz94 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Yeah , neither one would be compatible because of the chip density that I mentioned earlier. It's not about speed or timings but the actual components used to build the modules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
