Query about upgrading DDR1 Ram upto 2GB

Hardware & Gaming PC Builds, Modding & Overclocking

Friends,
I am planning to install 2GB DDR1 Ram on my following config:
Proccy: Intel Pentium 4 [2.66Ghz]
Mobo: Intel D101GGC
Ram: DDR1 PC3200 512MB 200Mhz 3-4-4-8 [2.5V]

As i am looking for performance DDR1 Ram. Please suggest me some good best available DDR1 Rams presently available. I have found this with some research work.
Newegg.com - mushkin Redline 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 500 (PC 4000) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model 991493 - Desktop Memory

Will this RAM is compatible with my Mobo as its stock bandwidth is 500Mhz (PC4000).
Please assist me in getting the best DDR1 available.
Thanks

I agree with you as Normal DDR1 1GB Dynet/Hynix cost - Rs.1.5k and Transcend/Kingston - Rs.1.6k [Source www.deltapage.com] but i dont have any idea about thier performance.

IMHO its a bit of a waste to invest for ‘performance’ on an older memory standard.

The DDR500 rating means that it has been tested to run stable at those speeds. Its SPD tables will definitely have timings for DDR400 - which is the speed it will run at by default, unless you overclock (doesn’t look like it on your present mobo) or your BIOS supports running your mem speeds asynchronously.

You mean DDR500 may not support on my mobo!

I think the message that is being put across is that you’re better of saving up and upgrading your platform rather than adding RAM right now.
If you absolutely must add more RAM on this setup, go for the cheapest sticks out there and do not bother with “performance” DDR1 RAM.

Thanks Amein, you are right but for the information which is the best DDR1 stick available till date.

I mean, DDR 500 RAM will run at DDR 400 by default on your setup. The additional headroom can be tapped only if you are overclocking, which AFAIK is not possible on your board.

Overclocking is possible on my mobo. I have cocked my default P4 2.6Ghz to 3.5Ghz with stability. Thanks to clockgen software.
