Project 7-3
1. What is the maximum amount of memory the banks on your motherboard can accommodate?
Each slot can support a maximum of 1GB the motherboard has two slots so the maximum the board supports is 2GB.
2. What type of memory does the board support?
This mother board supports single channel DDR2 533/667.
3. How many modules are install, and how much memory does each hold?
Only one 1GB module is installed. (type Wintec DDR2 5300)
4. Look at a retail site to determine how much it will cost to fill the banks to full capacity. Don’t forget to match the speed of the modules already installed, and plan to use only the size modules your computer can accommodate. How much will the upgrade cost?
It will cost $17.99 for an exact match for the 2nd slot.
Hands on Lab
Today’s hand on lab was to install a stick of DDR2 5300 1GB memory in to my Biostar Viotech 3100+ motherboard. This is a simple task.
You need to make sure you have on your ESD bracelet.
On each side on the slot for the memory stick there is locking clip, push these into the down position. Now take you memory out of its’ shipping case and make sure that the notch on the bottom of the stick lines up the notch on the motherboard slot. If it doesn’t line up rotate it 180*. If this doesn’t line it up you might have the wrong memory.
Now that you got everything lined up push the memory stick into place until you here the clips snap into place. This will take a small amount of force to push in the stick, and it is best to have the case on its back to counter act this force. Sometimes the clips at the ends of the slot don’t latch in place; if not do this by hand to prevent chip creep. Below are a few photos from today’s lab.
One stick one DDR2 Memory 1GB.
This is where the memory goes.
