Hello,
Should I use PC2100 DDR in a newer computer with stock PC3200? I have two old 512mb chips from a recently disassembled computer (an emachine T4510)
I have another computer still in use (Emachine T6216) which has:
AMD Athlon? 64 3200+ Processor (with AMD 64 technology)(2GHz, 2000MHz system bus, 512KB L2 cache)
Motherboard MS-7207G 100
200mhz bus clock
Bios American Megatrends 080012 (11/15/2005)
384 MB installed memory recognized
DIMM 0 256mb (i think its PC3200)
DIMM 1 256mb
DIMM 2 empty
DIMM 3 empty
(http://www.emachines.com/products/products.html?prod=T6216)
1. Why doesn’t it currently recognize all the ram in it?
2. Can i fill the 2 more empty ram slots with the 512mb 2100 chips? I know they are slower–but for such a significant(and free) volume boost would it still be worth it?
3. Is this second computer better off with the current nForce?? 410 chipset with GeForce? 6100 GPU with up to 128MB of shared video memory, or should i install an older 128mb Geforce FX card that I have?
Thanks in advance!
