Which kind of DDR-RAM for SY-K7V Dragon Plus!

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.soyo (More info?)

I have a SY-K7V Dragon Plus! with 1x Crucial 256 MB DDR-RAM PC2100
CL2,5.
I would like to upgrade my board to 512 or 1024 MB RAM.
Can I use PC2700 or PC3200 DDR-RAM modules instead? Single-sided or
double-sided?

Thanks,
Mark

Thanks for your advice, Tim.

But, what if I put a SAMSUNG, KINGSTON, CORSAIR, INFINEON 512 or 1024
MB DDR-RAM instead of the one 256 MB from CRUCIAL into my board?
Is there anything I have to watch for?
For example: Is anyone running 2x INFINEON 512 MB DDR-RAM PC3200 on
this board?

For best results you want all your memory to be of the same type. You
can mix PC2100 and PC2700 but all the memory is going to run at the
slowest memory speed.

The same holds true for memory brands, do to the different memory
timings and in some cases even different layouts, you should stick with
the same size and brand.

So if you want 1Gig of memory buy two 512mb dimms from the same company
for the best results.
