Hello i am looking for a memory to buy, and i need some help picking one out since i have never done this before. At the moment i have 256mb and i am looking to add another 512mb to it. Here are some information on my CPU which i have found on the manufactures website:

  • System Memory
    o Supports 2 memory slots.
    o Supports a maximum memory size of 2 GB (using 2 x 1 GB memory modules)
    o 400/333/266 MHz
    o Support only 2.5 V DIMM DDRAM configurations
    o Unbuffered type support

please help me pick one out from Ebuyer.com or any other recommanded websites. i am looking to spend about £30 but i will be able to spend £40 if nessasary.

Could i also get help in picking out a graphics card aswell. here are the details of my motherboard:

Santiago (P5S800-VM)
Name: Santiago (P5S800-VM)
Type: µATX motherboard
Manufacturer: ASUS

i would like to spend up to £30 at the most for this.

Any other nessasary information needed please ask.

Thanks for your help.

Hi there, and welcome :smiley:

Memory the best your mobo can take is PC3200 400mhz
512mb - Kingston 512MB DDR PC3200 400MHz CL3 Memory Module

GFX (you can only put VGA graphics cards on that mobo)
Your not gonna get the best for 30 squid but here are the best for the money
Asus Geforce 6200 128MB DVI-D 1 X Vga Tv-out AGP

Hope this helps although I would seriously recomend putting a little extra on the GFX budget to get at least a 256mb on board memory, like this:
Innovision GeForce 7600GS 256MB DDR2 128Bit AGP

thank you for the reply, but are you sure it will work

Yup, as long as you posted the correct Mobo model number I’d say that should be fine.

I looked up the full specifications here
