I have a mboard of ASROCK M266A but idont know If what type of RAM that im going to use for my DDR socket?

2 x DDR, DDR266/200 non-ECC, un-buffered memory
- Max. capacity of system memory: 2GB

hello rkr phoenix, u can only use DDR2 on this motherboard, this was type motherboard with processor socket 478, and this type only have two choice, SDRAM or DDRAM, on asrock p4i45 can have DDRAM socket. hope this useful, regards.

184 pin PC2100 DDR266 DIMM. PC2100 is the most important identifier. Your motherboard's maximum RAM is 2GB.

nvidia 9600gt agp version 512kb vram.

if you get a card with 1gig of ram on it, you would have to have at least thqat much, 1gig, installed into your system ram as well.

Hello,

Here is the page to get drivers for your mainboard:

Thanks for using Fixya.

Are you sure memory is same (type and make) as they can have different timings and speeds.
remove 2nd memory module see if computer starts if it does i believe memory module could be faulty

According to the product website your board supports all intel socket 478 cpu's. Maybe you bought a faulty cpu ?
M266A

1. Socket 478 for Intel® P4 processor
2. VIA® P4M266A chipset

• FSB 533MHz
• Supports Hyper-Threading Technology
• Hybrid Booster - a safe overclocking feature
• 2xDDR 266/200
• Integrated ProSavage8 3D Graphic

Socket 478, Intel® Pentium 4 / Celeron
- FSB 533/400MHz

- 2 DDR DIMM Sockets support

* Two 184-pin 2.5V DDR SDRAM (DDR200/266), DDR333 (conditional)

- Maximum: 2GB

Dear hiran89

Please see the specification of your motherboard at the following link of Asrock. It supports only up to AGP 4x.

The 8600GT GPU does not come in AGP setups only PCI-Express. In general even if you were to have this card then the rest of your system would bottleneck the capabilities of the card.

My advice is to buy something more suited to the system you own such as a RADEON RX2600PRO, GEFORCE 7600GT,..but still these may be still more than the system deserves right now.

Saying this the most powerfull graphics card now in AGP are the ones below

GEFORCE 7900GS, 512MB DDR3
ATI HD 3850, 512MB GDDR3

No. DDR replaced the SD in RAM so SDRAM and DDR RAM are two completely different things but each ram type has its own frequency hence you get SDRAM 100(mhz) and SDRAM 133(Mhz) just like you get DDR 1 RAM at 266(mhz) and 400(mhz) and DDR 2 RAM at 533(mhz) and 800(mhz). Therefore as you can see how these things differ, but if your mboard takes SDRAM that it can take and frequency of SDRAM but you must ensure that all the frequencies of all your RAM modules in all your slots correspond otherwise you will have problems, meaning that if you decide to use 133mhz RAM then all your RAM modules that you use must be the same. Let me know how you go. thanks
