@vroom: my budget is till 4 k. but i also crave for playing good quality games like POP series.....

hey guys so wht ram my 945 motherboard will support.

[Shadowfax]

I had previously Transcend 800 Mhz and I had put it on Intel D945G which supports only up to 667 Mhz. In BIOS and it only recognized the 667 Mhz. I ran this config for 2 months with no problems at all. (Then I upgraded to Asus P5Q Pro and G.skill 4Gb= 2x2)
@andy: what is ur budget for gfx card ??

These days compatibility issues are very minimal. u can definitely put a higher frequency RAM with the current RAM, but it will run at the frequency of the slower RAM.

This might be true theoretically, but practically you can never say. This was not the issue when I did the same thing. I had asked my 1 Gb RAM to be replaced with a 2 GB one. Transcend was the brand that I asked them to put. Since I was not present at the time of replacing at the computer service center, I casually took the PC home. To find out at boot, the computer did not recognise the RAM chips at all.
Later I found out that the repair person had used the 800 Mhz chip. My motherboard (old) was compatible till 667 Mhz chips. Swapped it with the lesser frequency RAMs and they worked.

Thanks aryan, i was just confused coz there is one or two more threads related to computers

Well i have two queries,

1. I have 1gb ddr2 ram in my pc, and i am planning to put one more 2gb ddr2.

the question here is will it be ok if i put higher frequency 2gb ddr2 ram with the existing one. I mean there should be no compatibility issue right.

Also if you guys can share prices and the correct ram for my pc,

A 2GB corsair RAM costs about Rs1650

2. I am also planning to install a graphic card. as i dont have any knowledge on these, help me with the same...

Also in current recession time i will not be able to purchase super expensive graphic cards

waiting for replies

U need to find out the type of slot u have for grahics.
i think it wil be a PCI-E slot. u can get a ATI 4670 chipset based card for about Rs5000

Thanks pranay, as i am in office now i dont have full details, however i will try to give as much detail as possible.

p4 processor 2.4ghz
motherboard is 945 series
1gb ddr2

this is about hardware part all i can remember....

[pranay]

^^@Andy: Write in the details of your PC for now. Motherboard, Processor....it will help others suggest and recommend you.

Frequency of RAM depends on the motherboard you have. The older ones do not support the newer 800 Mhz RAM chips.

@all: Hey guys is it ok if i ask queries about upgrading my pc in this thread.... ??

When a newbie can ask a motorcycle modification related query in a Computer Gaming thread, then I don't think you should act like a newbie andy!

This is what this thread is here for - queries, solutions, etc. related to PC.

We do use TFTs but not Samsung. I have a viewsonic TFT, its good but have faced problems with their After Sales Service

Currently the most preferred TFTs are the Dell. they have the best A.S.S as their users say.

Thanks for the reply. but currently 22 dell are expensive .. the samsung 2233SW costs just 11k inc taxes
Specs are
Screen Size 55.9cm (22)
Resolution 1920 x 1080
Contrast Ratio DC 15,000:1 (1,000:1)

dude it was a perfect Kingston yar..!! no trick in the spell.. i did a spell-check

about manufacturer information, theres a site address which is actually valid.. 5 years warranty written.. no flaws in the packaging I would say..!

Can u put up a photo of the blister pack if possible, so that we can see what it looks like ??

Also send them to the kingston Customer care or any higher kingston authority to notify of the same.
(who knows, they might give u a original replacement or atleast do something to put such things in check)

[rachitkohli]

^^ was it a KINGSTON or a KINSTON?

i have seen stuffs like pansonic dvd players..

Also did the blister pack have any manufacturer information?

Memory cards for mobiles, camera, etc. are also being faked these days; that is another digital equipment that we should be extra cautious about while purchasing.

if its the first time for person & who is unaware of such news.. He will be instantly pulled into this.. They look so genuine.. On the packet which exactly is one like of Kinston, its written 5 years company warranty..

Me & my friends where laughing when we found other such people who where influenced by such stuff...!
