Recommend me some decent DDR2 memory.....

StevieP · 11 Oct 2006 at 13:40

I am looking at upgrading to 2gb (2 x 1gb sticks) of memory shortly but I wanted to get some DDR2 memory that will a) be compatible with my current system (see sig) and b) give me a degree of "future-proofing" for my next upgrade (probably a new mobo & processor to take advantage of the DDR2 type)

Heres the sticking point......money

Anyone got any ideas for a decent budget brand that fits the bill???

Thanks for any ideas....

DDR2 isn't compatible with that board.

Noooooooooo :eek:

Dont tell me that!! Wont it even run at a lower speed until I upgrade???

It won't fit. DDR2 has more pins than DDR.

Thanks anyway........

Budget and RAM aren't two words that are going well together atm. RAM prices are sky-high, especially DDR which is being phased out by the major manufacturers. You'll be looking at atleast £140-£150 for 2x1gb if you're buying new. Try the Members Market for some decent cheapish DDR.

I wouldn’t bother upgrading that tbh, wait until the spring and then get a new pc as ram prices should have dropped by then.
