Hey guys.
So my dad has a very old PC.
Specs currently are:
MSI 7525 ver 1
GeForce 9500 GT
CPU: Unknown but does work
RAM: 2x1GB Transcend 800mhz ram - Should be DDR2 PC2-6400
I have just purchased a cheap SSD to install as Windows 10 with low ram is slow, especially on a old hard drive.
The motherboard does support up to 4gb of DDR2 PC2-6400 240PIN 800MHZ ram.
My problem is that the only ram I can find is 2RX8 ram. The motherboard only has 2 slots, a slot can only have 2gb MAXIMUM, and overall has a max capacity of 4gb.
My question is, will 2RX8 2GB ram, count as 2 modules in one slot, meaning I can't install the other 2gb stick into the other slot?
I know it sounds confusing but I just don't want to buy the ram for me to only be able to use 2GB again, I'm aiming for 4GB here haha.
I read somewhere that 2RX8 will count as 2 sticks in one slot and because there is only 2 physical slots on the board, I'm thinking this might be an issue.
Many thanks for any responses!
