Hi Dear All,
This is Rhishikesh and I have recently joined as a member here. Let me admit it first that I am a pharmacologist (a dumb professional really!) and not a techie. So this is an SOS for some advice.
I have recently purchased a HP machine at my office. The Config is.
P IV 2.8 HT, Intel 865 chipbased motherboard.
80 GB HDD@7200 RPM etc.etc.
I had ordered 512 MB RAM for the same. Now my problems started. The standard config of the machine had only 256 MB RAM bundled. The vendor offered me the upgrade (not free!) to 512 MB RAM. The chap is giving me a RAM chipset of 256MB@400MHz and other chipset of 256MB@266MHz.
Now could somebody please tell me whether I should accept this deal or not? Will those additional 256MB @266MHz be compatible/useful?
and Is 256MB RAM@400MHz available in market? (My vendor told me that they are not available. Is he correct or he is taking me to a ride?)
Thanx in anticipation
Rhishi
