Kingston Memory for PIII 770Z
Posted: Thu Aug 09, 2007 12:03 am
Hi,
I've purchased a PIII-650 MMC-2 module for my 770Z and will follow the tips given in the upgrade thread.
I need to purchase new PC100 compatible memory and can access the following Kingston value RAM:
a. KVR100X64SC2/256 - rated at PC100, 256MB and internally configured as 16 chips of 16Mx8bits.
b. KVR133X64SC3/256 - rated at PC133, 256MB and internally configured as 8 chips of 16Mx16bits.
The PC133 is about 35% of the price of the PC100 memory so I'm tempted to buy it.
I read the page that describes which RAM is compatible with the 440BX chipset at http://homepage.hispeed.ch/rscheidegger/ram_bx_faq.html .
Normally I would not expect 16Mx16bit memory to work, but the Kingston is rated as 4K Refresh (rather than the more common 8K refresh for this module configuration).
Does anyone have an experience using these Kingston modules with a PIII modded 770 ?
Would you recommend trying them ?
