Hello, everyone. I believe this to be the proper forum for this topic, and I failed to find any other topics to answer my question, under a quick inspection.
Here in lies my question.
I'm interesting in purchasing more RAM for my computer. However, I'm worried about buying a chip that is not compatible with my system.
I do know a little bit about this topic, but I don't have all of my bases covered.
The chip I had found a nice chip to buy, but am unaware what one of the specifications on it are.
The Chip is a PNY 256MB PC2700 DDR 333MHz.
I know my RAM slots are DDR, and I know 256MB is the amount I want. However, what concerns me, is the PC 2700.
I'm not quite sure what it means, although I believe it has something to do with the data transfer rate, but I am worried that it may cause some sort of compatibility issue.
I'm sure the more information I can provide the better, and so, my computer is an HP pavilion in model, runs with a Celeron 2.0gHZ processor, has two RAM slots (one open), 256 MB DDR RAM, and is just barely over one year old.
And so, I ask, could the "PC xxx" spec cause problems with compatibility, and if so, is there a way to check and see if it is compatible?
Thanks in advance.
