i have a P4 1.6 GHz system with currently 256 MB of SD RAM 133 MHz and Motherboard VIA 8233. Some days back i wanted to increase the RAM and i opened the cabinet to find that it has got 2 SD RAM slots and 2 DDR Ram Slots. I couldnt figure out why was i given SD RAM with a p4 system. The
reason might be that when i bought it about 2.5 yrs back the DDR RAM rates were too high.
NOw i bought Ram which the following written on it. "KINGSMAX 256 MB-DDR 333". i removed the existing SD RAM from my system and plugged in this new RAM just to find that the system isnt booting and given the RAM error beep when i start the PC. i thought of check up with the BIOS. In that in the DRAM settings, there were just 2 speed options 100 and 133. SO does that mean that my motherboard Via 8233 doesnt support DDR RAm. i am totally confused. If it has got slots for it y would it not support it. I tried the RAM with both the slots and both were giving errors. Please help me out.
