I wanna know if can lug in a 1 gb ram if it is compatible with m motherboard wich is intel 845 it s got 2 slots.. or shud i use two 512 mb ram's.. n wich type of ram.. i.e. ddr2 etc..
Ok. So you've defined the Intel 845 chipset on your motherboard.
But is it the 845 or 845G chipset?
Click HERE for the specifications of the Intel 845 chipset.
Click HERE for the specifications of the Intel 845G chipset.
Peepnklown is only HALF right.
The Intel 845 chipset does NOT support PC133 memory.
The Intel 845G chipset DOES support both DDR and PC133 memory.
The difference?
The 845 has a single memory controller for DDR memory.
The 845G has two memory controllers. One for DDR and one for PC133.
Although you're going to need DDR memory as it is FASTER and less expensive than the older PC133 memory. (Believe it or not.)
I do NOT recommend using Corsair's ValuSelect memory on this chipset. I have two boards with the 845G chipset and that type of memory does not allow the board to boot.
These boards typically come with DDR266 (PC2100) modules installed.
I would go ahead and buy DDR333 (PC2700) memory for it. The board you have may not utilize the full speed of that memory, but will use tighter memory timings if the RAM is clocked down by the board. This will result in better efficiency of memory use by the processor.
Think of it as giving the motherboard "breathing room".
I could recommend PNY memory for the most basic compatability. (Not that they manufacture their own RAM modules...) Or perhaps Nanya, Infineon or Microtek.
Look for memory compatability lists for your particular motherboard module online. You could also use PNY's memory configurator on their website.

Good luck.

I had an after-thought this morning after waking up. (I was rather tired last night as I made the above post...)
Although the 845G chipset DOES support both DDR and PC133 memories, that does not mean that the motherboard's DIMM slots (where you put the memory sticks...) will FIT PC133.
For instance... I have a couple of the Intel D845GVSR motherboards. Obviously - as the model number plainly tells you - this board has the 845G chipset.
But the DIMM slots will NOT fit the PC133 memory sticks. Only the DDR memory sticks.
Here is an example of what is compatible with the Intel D845GVSR motherboard. (A VERY commonly-found motherboard. Especially in OEM systems from Gateway, Dell, etc...)
Click HERE for the memory information for the board.
Also note the section that tells you what kind of memory to use; assuming different bus speeds of your processor.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Supported system bus frequency and memory speed combinations
If the processor's system bus frequency is. . .
You can use this type of DIMM. . .
533 MHz
DDR333 or DDR266
400 MHz
DDR266 or DDR200-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway... Like I said. Just an afterthought.

That chart didn't post correctly... Looked GREAT while I was pasting it...
Here's a SCREENSHOT of it instead.

Intel 845 wn mother bord not support for pc 133 ram what is problem
Intel 845 is a chipset which can support DDR or PC133.
To know which RAM your motherboard can take we’ll need the make/model of the board.
SOURCE: i wanna know if can lug in a 1 gb ram if it is
it should take a gog, and it will be ddr ram, not ddr2 or ddr3.

whether 400mhz ddr support intel 845g original motherboards of 2004
need to know wich type of computer where the RAM can be installed?
i have a intel845 model boards now i want to upgrade a system .. what are the upgrade accept my system
i have a 845 chip set mother board .i want change my 256mb to 1gb. which ram wants to choose how can i fixed my ram.
which ram wants to choose for intel 845
i have a intel 845GVmotherboard with 2.26Ghz processor.i presently have 256mb RAM .i wish to upgrade it to its maximum .what is its max?
pl reply soon!!! thanq
