Your memory seems to have a label attached to it, as you have presented the question. However, it is not presently legible as I see the component in the picture.  First of all, stick with the same manufacturer, memory type, and speed.  Best of all, used matched sets of memory.  Matching the memory does, in fact work better than 'one from column A and one from column B'.  So, if your budget permits, buy your memory in pairs.

So in that, it's best to go back with Kingston, if that is the manufacturer that is noted on the label, since it seems that is what you already have.  Secondly, unless you have the "Strolling Joe's Guide to Memory Product Numbers", the easiest way to find out what type of memory you have is to punch in the part number into any vendor's (New Egg?) search engine.  It should immediately tell you what you have.  If, by some chance, you have a system whereby the PC vendor did not include (sometimes happens) the labels on the memory, you can search your PC documentation and determine the requirements.  You will usually see items such as DDR2, DDR3, PC133, and the like.  Unless your system is from the early 90's, you are bound to find what you are looking for.  Older memory may be harder, and more expensive to obtain, but alas, it's still available if you want to keep the ol' 286 humming.

Question 2

Hi.Does this ram supoort MSI motherbord.does any one know this problem? Thanks

Accepted Answer

I am using it with an MSI video card.  Which means they are at least somewhat compatible manufacturers... not sure if that helps.. I only use Asus  mobos.

Question 3

This is what is in my PC now but I need to upgrade to at less 6mb, preferably 8.  My motherboard has four slots but I am having problems determining motherboard I have and the max RAM in can take?  thanks

Well if you already have this RAM card in your PC then you would have 
Type:240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM,  
Speed:1600 (PC3 12800)
This card is 8GB not MB.
Four slots don't mean you can install 4 8GB RAM cards.
If i was you i would only run 1 8GB card, your computer would run faster with one 8GB card then say 4 2GB cards.
If you could let me know the type and model of your computer and or your motherboard I could help more.

Question 4

I am looking for KVR800D2N6/1G-SP. can anyone tell me the difference?

Accepted Answer

Check the Kingston website for labeling info or call them.  They have a data base for motherboards and other devices to search by your device model number to see whether the module you are asking about will work.

Question 5

Re: KVR800D2N6/1G
My Desktop PC (AMD Athlon X2 5000+, motherboard ECS A780GM-A) currently has a pair of Kingston KVR400D2N3K2/2G (2 x 1GB) memory sticks, and two open slots.
A friend has made two KVR800D2N6/1G available to me. Assuming the price is right: 
1) Would I be able to use these two (safely) with my existing memory (ie. are they compatible)? 
2) If they couldn't (or shouldn't) be used together, would the KVR800 memory be enough of an upgrade that I should consider replacing my existing KVR400 memory?
I'm running dual-boot Win XP Home Edition 32-bit SP3 and Linux, if that matters.
Thanks for any insight you can share.

Wow. Long question.
Answer:  Yes and No.
You have DDR2 PC 3200 memory installed. Normally, adding PC 6400 should not stop the mobo from booting BUT you will NOT get the advantage of the faster new memory.

1)  Agree first that you can return the memory if you are not happy.
2)  you have four slots and can add 8 Gb per slot if you wish. But I wouldn't.  Your XP Home and Linus will not use more than 1 to 2 Gb of ram.  More than that is wasted money. I would take out the old memory and use the new memory only.
