Hi
I wish to upgrade the memory on my motherboard from the current 2GB to the maximum of 4GB.
On the QVL it gives the Micron part number of "MT8HTF12864AY-800E1" as a compatible 1GB chip for which I would need 4 (obviously) the Crucial equivalent being CT12864AA800.
Alternatively the QVL it gives the Micron part number of "MT16HTF25664AY-800E1" as a compatible 2GB chip for which I would need 2, the Crucial equivalent being CT25664AA800.
Would anyone be able to advise me if these options would in fact work in my board and which would be preferable. The 2x2GB route would be cheaper but would not operate in dual channel mode - according to the QVL.
I do realise that as I am running a 32bit OS the full amount of ram would not be usable, but I have a 64bit OS waiting to be installed
Kind Regards
