This machine needs more RAM and rather than buying 5 sticks of varying types for the job, is there some way to identify the type of ram needed? All I know is that it's a P4 class machine with DDR ram, I'm just not sure of the speed. Or is it possible to mix'n'match the ram speeds? Thinks in advance Tim -- Tim Aslat Spyderweb Consulting http://www.spyderweb.com.au Phone: +61 0401088479 _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" Dear Tim, I would get a brand name DDR400 PC3200 since its backward compatible with lower speeds (PC2100 PC2700), unless it's more highend server motherboard with ECC or Registered memory...
