Memory upgrading

by jayevans_uk . Updated 16 years, 4 months ago

I have bought a new mainboard for one of two PCs I have – both needed a new board (I believe).

The memory I had before doesn’t fit – instead of buying new memory can I use spare memory chips that fit the new board ?

I’m sure I’ve done this before – but not for a long time, so I’m hesitant. The last thing I would want to do is “blow” the new board and/or CPU – but neither do I want to spend another ?40 or so on RAM chips, unless I have to (of course).

I do hope you can help me – so I can start using my desktop PC again (using a laptop so not very ergo friendly for the amount I use it !).

Regards,
Julia
