I'm having an old Dell Dimension 8250 P4 2.6Ghz desktop with 256 mb of PC1066 RDRAM. I would like to know that is it worth buying a Gb of RAM, in order to speed up my system. Actually i would like to know that is it worth to upgrade PC1066 RDRAM on my pc? Does any body knows about it? Kindly provide me the correct information on the above issue.
PC1066 RDRAM (RIM 2100) is a 16-bit, single channel RIMM specified to operate at 533 MHz clock speed, 2133 MB/s bandwidth. The memory maxed out at 136 MHz FSB and would give us C1 erros on the Port80 if we pushed it any higher.
According to me, if your motherboard accepts it, then yes it will absolutely speed up your machine, especially if you are running Windows Xp on your machine or above. With 256 the system will be paging a lot more, as compare to physical memory it will be work very slow.
RDRAM with 533 MHz (PC1066) still sets the performance standard. PC1066 RDRAM Memory to work flawlessly with all compatible Pentium 4 computers. If it does not function properly, or you are not satisfied with the performance increase, feel free to return the memory back to us anytime within 60 days of receipt. Guaranteed Compatible with the Dell Dimension 8250 (Installation must be done in pairs).
