well im on my way to building the PC i talked about in another thread but i need to ask something.the mobo im going to use is a gigabyte ga-7vaxp VIA KT400+8235 chipset now i know its compatible with DDR ram but today i happened to be going through my spare PC parts and found a stick of 256MB PC133 Sdram so the question is can i install it on that mobo along with two 512 MB DDR ram?i know the mobo can take up to 3 gigs of ram but im am unsure if i can install ram that isnt DDR
 
No. SDRam has 168 pins and special keying. DDRam has 184 pins and different special keying.
 
thanks for the info looks like ill add that 256 to the currect 448 in my duron PC
 
yup.. its not compatible...

some mobos allow you to install both kinds of memory... sdram and ddr sdram... BUT you can't use em at the same time...

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
