RAM upgrade: have to return another brand - what should I choose and I'll lose dual channel?
Hi all
I spent some time looking for the forums for someone who faced a similar situation, but I couldn't find one. It was a little surprising, but good...
I have an inspiron 6400 with 1 GB of ram 4300 pc2 occupying only one memory card. I had planned this out when buying with the hope of upgrading in the future (i.e., now!). I understand that pc2 4300 is essentially the same as pc2 4200. cpuz shows me: Hyundai Electronics PC2-4300, DRAM: 266 MHz, FSB:DRAM 5:8. (?? This looks like a very impressive RAM stick, I'm right?). I can post more specifications if necessary.
I went on this Crucial ram site and had my system analyzed with their analysis tool, and recommended a second stick of RAM, but this time it's a pc2 5300 (667 MHz). My system is capable of dual channel, but my question is this: if I pair the pc2 installed by dell 4300 RAM with this stick of crucial pc2 5300, I'll have to dual channel? More important, I guess, it will count? I heard the benefit of the performance of the dual channel is about 15%, is that correct?
Everywhere that I've read, people point out that the two RAM sticks must be identical, but identical in what? Capacity will be the same, is it enough?
The other option is to buy a kit of 2 (5300) GB of crucial, but I had rather not throw a good stick of pc2 4300. Is this a good stick of RAM?
Thanks in advance

Two points:
1. it is unlikely that your current installation would work if
you have changed motherboards. You need to reinstall itself.2 but you cannot use your current copy of Windows if you change
motherboards, not even if reinstall you it cleanly. The largest
disadvantage of an OEM version, is that its license it binds permanently
the first computer, it is installed on and Microsoft believes that
If you change the motherboards, another computer. It can never
legally be moved to another computer, sold or transferred (except with)
the original computer). If the computer dies or is stolen, your
license dies with him.Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP

Hello
You can contact Dell and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks and to reinstall the operating system.
They should do this for a small fee.
If this method has not been destroyed by the last re - install, and if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.
The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)
Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.
With a Dell, you press F8 at startup and follow the instructions
http://www.Dell.com/support/troubleshooting/us/en/19/KCS/KcsArticles/ArticleView?docid=266618
The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.
See you soon.

Thanks for any help,

This isn't something that muse will offer, every time that your DNS is managed, you would need to contact them and request files of area to move the field.

Which means that the acronym for? What should I look for when looking for a new 2 GB module?

You must look for DDR2 PC2 5300 667 Mhz 200 pin SODIMM memory, for examplethis. You can use any generic RAM meets these specifications. There is no need to pay for what is called memory "premium". I buy everything that is cheaper and have never had any problems.
DDR2 SDRAM explains what the average numbers. (Note the ESL 200-pin SODIMM is a variant of DIMM 240 pin.) The first is designed for laptops while the second is for desktop computers).

Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.
