IF you still have the old memory sticks, put them back in to see if everything is back to normal. It is important to go to System Information to view the max capacity of RAM. IF you put TOO much memory, the RAM will not operate properly. This applies to all Window systems and most Mac systems.
Depends on how you want them to be compatible.
Some examples of computer motherboards compatible with PC3200 DDR400 memory are computers with XD motherboards which run a lot faster and have more raw access memory.
Non-compatible memory will work much slower then intended and may actually keep your computer from running in rare cases.
You added memory that is incompatible with your computer. Return it and buy a differentbrand. you should find out if the ram is compatible before you buy it
You don't at all! Just make sure it's compatible, such as DDR or DDR2 memory.
Nearly every memory card reader on the market is USB compatible, and simply plugs directly into one of your computer's USB ports.
If the computer is running, the memory (RAM) almost assuredly is as well.
3 considerations when choosing memory
Absolutely. Considering your new computer's motherboard supports the same type of ram. I'm assuming you have a ddr2 ram compatible computer and that your purchasing a new computer with a ddr2 compatible motherboard.
Usually systems are backwards compatible but not forwards compatible. Your computer may not address the newer memory correctly. Always try to stick with the best memory your motherboard supports. Not saying it wont work, but may cause some errors.
These two units are not compatible for conversion; minutes is time, gigabytes (GB) is computer memory.
That would have very bad results.The two are not compatible.
