Hey guys, I have some ram from my old computer, two 256 mb DDR2,333 ram.

So I have managed my money, and I was going to buy the Biostar Micro Nf61S

Newegg.com - BIOSTAR NF61S Micro AM2 SE AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6100 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard - AMD Motherboards

and the AMD anthlon 64 Dual Core processor 2.1 Ghz.

Newegg.com - AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+ Brisbane 2.1GHz 2 x 512KB L2 Cache Socket AM2 65W Dual-Core Processor - CPUs / Processors

So I just saw in the motherboard description that It supports DDR2 800 ram..

So what is that a difference?..I thought that all DDR2 ram was the same?..Does that mean that I cant use my DDR2, 333 ram? Or are the numbers just to describe something else?..and the ram is the same? I appreciate any help since I'm going to give my teacher the money tomarrow or the next day so he can buy it for me.

EDIT, AHH guys i'm so confused!,,They said I was using DDR2 ram..But it says DDR, 333 not DDR2, 333..I cant think at all today o_0..

i thought DDR2 didnt go to 333mhz.....

you sure thats not DDR?

pretty worthless memory either way, you can buy faster sticks for pocket change now.

Yeah, sorry for the confusion.

kris23

id get this memory...

Newegg.com - SUPER TALENT 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory

and id probably get a slower X2 and OC it slightly to account for the loss......

anything less than 2Gb is just not worth it
