What kind of ram by YourNeibour on 01-20-2007 at 07:45 PM

Hi,

What is the best tool to find out make and model of DDR400 Ram you have.  I just bought Kingstonstop 1gb DDR400 but when I put it into my PC the machine boots but no video.

Sais I have kingmax so do I need to by kingmax to work with kingmax or should kingston be good enough?

Any RAM of the same time should go well together, and you seem to already know the model (DDR400), so just be sure the new one is the same.

btw, I never heard of DDR400, just DDR and DDR2. Perhaps someone could clear it out for both me and OP.

"400" denotes the doubled frequency of operation.  In other words, it is DDR memory that runs at 200MHz (making for effective 400MHz after you factor in the double pumping), also known as PC-3200. 

The "3200" in PC-3200 denotes theorethical bandwidth in MB/sec, which for a startard 64-bits wide DIMM module will always be 8 times the doubled clock frequency.
