I Recently Purchased a new Video Card , Works GREAT.
I then wanted to upgrade my ram so I looked everywhere to find a great price and I thought I Found It.
I Purchased it off E-bay and when i recieved it and went to install it, NOTHING. IT WILL NOT WORK FOR MY COMPUTER
This is what i apparently have. I Still question it.
"1gb high density module" 128x64 -Built with 128Mx4Bit Dram
The chips are made my Elixer, and when i cross the chip set #'s thur Elixers Web site, I get that its a 512MB PC2700 Instead of the
1GB PC3200 DDR Ram.
Elixir RAM is god awful, to be quite honest, flog it and get better stuff. Mine only worked reliably because I had a 333mhz FSB and it ran at 83% of the speed. It's not known for reliability or performance. I'd suggest you buy Corsair, Kingston, OCZ, Crucial, Mushkin or Patriot memory instead.
Thanks, I will. The only reason I purchased Elixer Brand Ram, was because my computer came with a 512MB of Elixer Ram. Figgured i would stay the same. I found today 2- 1GB Ram Sticks of CORSAIR ValueSelect 1GB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) for a STEAL 98.00 Included shipping. from a VERY RELIABLE SOURCE. THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY.
But if anybody is interested in some Elixer 1GB of Ram, LET ME KNOW ILL MAKE YOU A DEAL!!!!!!.
There are quite a lot of brands to choose from to be fair, but I guess I'm just a Corsair supporter now. I had 2x512MB of Elixir RAM before and as mentioned it only really worked because it ran on a 333mhz bus when it was 400mhz RAM. It really isn't designed with performance in mind.
