Upgrading my computer

**The_Doctor** · 02-10-2005, 20:14

At present I have:
2GHz processor
256Mb of RAM- It might be DDR, It says DIMM on a systems information program
GeForce 4200Ti 64Mb AGP graphics card

I want 512 DDR RAM and a more powerful grapgics card, but I have become confused (This doesn't often) with types of RAM and interface types.

I need to know what type of RAM to buy and what is TV(I will assume this is something to do with a television) and DVI is.

I have an elitegroup VIA KT266-8235 L7VMM2 motherboard.

Look at your ram stick, it should say what type it is (I mean physically look). Get the same type again.

Graphics card wise you should be fine with any AGP card out there.

Depends how much money you are willing to spend on a graphic card. I'd recommend ATI 9800 PRO or XT it's possible to get the Pro for around 200$
9800 PRO for 209$ Here

Ok, I am going insane now.

I found out what type of RAM I have:

And what type of motherboard:

The RAM is nigh on impossible to find, so I will get a different type of RAM. Would this work:

I may be mistaken and maybe someone alse has a better knowlede on this but as I see it you can't use that memory. You got 166 Mhz clock memory in your computer and the other one is 133 Mhz. I'd think it would not work but as I said I may be mistaken.
