Bummer. Any advantage to havin these new ones in at all, ie, they're newer, will they be more efficient?
Listen, the idea behind DDR2 is they run twice as fast as DDR. Your ram should say DDR2-400 or (500,800 or so) this number reflects the Mhz speed at which they transfer data. Although keep in mind the bottleneck of this process is your CPU. If your CPU's front side bus rate is only 400 or less, then DDR2 ram is useless as it will only be as fast as your CPU speed. If your CPU is anything over 400 then the DDR2 will be useful.
A quicker way to check your system is RIGHT CLICKING ON MY COMPUTER AND CLICK PROPERTIES. This will bring up the System Properties for your computer.
If you want a BETTER way to show all the information you should open the DirectX Diagnostic Tool. To do this, click Start-> Run -> type in dxdiag then press enter. Up comes the DirectX Diag Tool. WIth this you have system informaiton, motherboard type, ram info, processor info, you can check your display info (Graphics Card etc) and your sound along with other features.
Nature is a powerful force. Those who seek to subdue nature, never do so permanently.
