actually, i have 2 questions.
First one is:
i have a Gigabyte GA-8KNXP (rev2) motherboard. i replaced 4 sticks of OCZ 512mb perf series 3200 with 4 sticks of Gskill 1gb (2 sets of F1-3200PHU2-2GBNS)
Since XP doesn't recognise the full 4GB of memory, am i better off just using 2 of the 1GB Gskill and 2 of the OCZ 512mb (for total 3GB), versus the 4 sticks of Gskill which XP only says totals 3.34GB? Not sure if the 'extra' unused memory slows the system down.
Second question.
A friend has an old Compaq Presario SR1610NX. Near as i can tell, it has 256MB mem (PC3200)... one stick.
Motherboard is a MSI-7184 (amethyst M-GL6E in HP lingo) with 4 slots. i think processor is a sempron 3200 1.8GHz. Anyways, she wants to upgrade her memory (obviously!) Would the Gskill F1-3200PHU1-1GBNT (2 sticks) work in her machine?
thanks for any help!
