hi, I have two pc's the new one that I use for gaming is already maxed out to 32 gb DDR3, the older one is still stuck at 4 gb DDR3, because the old pc seems to accept only Micron brand ram that were the ones available for it when I got it 5 years ago.
have been spending effort trying out different kinds of DDR3 on the old pc. Want to upgrade it to 8GB, because I still use it as a backup storage, and playing games that don't work in Windows 10.
mother board is Samsung Desktop System (only two slots for ram), processor is Core e8400.
took pics..
this pair of Micron DDR3 ram are the ones currently installed and working on old pc.
these Samsung DDR3 work fine when tested on the newer pc, but for some reason, are not accepted by the old board.
is this a brand issue, or something else?
anyone with experience on this, please help. thanks.
