New Ram

I'm think about getting a new Ram.The 1 I have now is a 512mb ram and I was think about getting a 1gb ram.But I have a few questions first.

Where is the best place(in Ireland)to get a Ram?

How much does it cost(in euros)?

Can u put them in yourself or do I need a expert to do it?

Thanks in advance.

Before that, which RAM you have (DDR, DDR2 ........)

Also which motherboard you have ?

How do I find that out?

Sorry but I don't know much about the inside of a PC.

Download CPU-Z from www.cpuid.com

Run it & you can see more details about your computer.

I have a DDR 512mb ram.

My motherboard is a KV8 Pro.

Is this enough info?

DDR 512MB RAM will cost you nearly 15 euros (France)LahiruD

:o 15 euros.Is that it.I thought a ram would cost 100 euros.

How much is a 1gb ram?

Are they easy to install?

Do I have to take out my old ram and put a new one in or can I buy a 512MB ram and put the 2 together?

Also thanks for helping

Can anyone recommend a good place to buy a ram?MJPK

Is there a pacific make I have to get or can I just get any DDR ram?

Also what make of ram are the best?

Go to crucial.com and let them scan your system. They will tell you what you have and what you need/can get.

IMHO crucial is the best brand of ram.

OCZ memory 2 gig pack will cost about the same and it is low latency and un-buffered. Built for gaming.

Is it free?

I have a RADEON 9600 SERIES.Is that any good?MJPK

Damn, you computer is outdated.

It's time to get a new computer

Don't upgrade this. Bcoz those parts are very OLD & if you buy those parts, you won't be able to put them in your new one.

(Buy a HDD or something like that if you want)

I'm just making sure.

I own the KV8 Pro and use to be my primary board.. Buy 2gb set (2x 1 gb sticks) DDR 400/PC3200 Thats the max youc an put on that board.. It only has 2 slots if memory serves.. Go for Cosair, Crucial, or OCZ.. These you can find for cheap on places such as Newegg and are top quality.

For agp solution like a 2600X pro/XT radeon model card should work amazing.. Or if you can find one a 1900XT which is some what faster then these cards.. Either way you will see a AMAZING performance increase.. Trust me you will be breathless.. I can not properly say how weak your card is now compared to these oness I have stated. Also always make sure that you are buying the AGP version of these cards and not the PCI express.. You do not have that slot and will be very annoyed having to pay again for shipping to return it back to the store.
