RAM Compatibility
January 25th, 2020
Can anyone suggest a computer that is able to support this certain RAM type?
“WINTEC
AMP
PC2 – 5300 / 2GB
3AMD2667 – 2G2 – R/802 – 1867”
That is what the sticker on my RAM says.. haha. I have a general idea as to what it means but have no idea where to start. Seriously, any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Im 90% sure its DDR2 memory.

Meaning there are two things of memory? Yeah I have two of them and they both say that. Pretty sure they are both 2gb each
$150 won’t get you much of a computer unless its for general use. That RAM you have is PC2 5300 or DDR2 667. It’d be hard composing a PC with $150, lots of components will have to be taken from the old build like the case, HDD, RAM you already have and the PSU. What is the specifications of the old PC and whats the purpose for the new PC?

Nah…there’s also SDR.

It is for general use but I want his computer to be as fast as possible for as cheap as possible. That’s what I was thinking, but if it’s possible I’d like to. The computer I got the RAM from was an HP Pavillion Slimline e3200. 4gb ram, 250gb hd, integrated graphics, average processor. Pretty good actually.. however the power supply is burnt out and honestly requires too much work considering it’s a compaq computer. The new PC should have at least 1gb of ram and probably a good 80gb hard drive. I just would like to add the extra ram if possible. It is just for his family really.. When it arrives (once we pick it out) I will load windows 7 on it and microsoft word and all that. Be able to do basic household operations. I also don’t need a monitor, keyboard, or mouse. Any suggestions you guys can give me would be great. Perhaps I don’t need the extra ram?
Thanks for the responses guys!

Are you implying I purchase a refurbished computer? That was probably what I was gonna end up doing haha

What I’m saying is that it will be mediocre to buy a 80 Gigabyte hard drive and 1 Gigabyte of memory. On the new, its not cost efficient as the hardware are slowly being phased out.

I agree but under the conditions of my budget… haha. I really am not left with much of a choice. Can you recommend anything? Perhaps a place to buy a computer or a computer itself that would better suit my buddy?

If the PC you got the RAM from, why not just use that? Just purchase a new PSU and replace the old one. Because at this rate you’re looking at recycling the case, hard disk and optical drive. At this rate you’re looking at a low ended dual core around the pentium dual core ranges and onboard graphics. You might find something a little better if you shop around second handed. Check out ebay or see if theres any computer markets or computer stores willing to sell individual second hand “working” parts for cheaper
Answer #13
Have a look on ebay for these items.
Pentium dual core E5200
Asus p5kpl-am Then give him your ram. Use the case/psu/hard drive etc that he already has.

The power supply currently in my computer is incredibly hard to get to. It’s an HP Pavilion Slimline (compaq). The new power supply will cost around forty bucks anyway, not to mention I’d rather not give him my 250gb hard drive and the working parts already in the computer. I purchased the computer for around $300 so I would have to buy a new power supply ($40) and then sell him my old computer ($80-100).
After talking to my friend about it, he would rather have my old computer for around 150 bucks. Not too bad actually… Thanks for the help guys. I guess the problem had an easier solution than I had originally planned

And DDR4 soon.
To be honest, $150 won’t get much of a PC, he would be better off buying 2 second hand ones and cannibalizing them with his current PC as well, it’s not really an upgrade but it might be an improvement.
