Go to crucial.com They have a small program you can download and will ell
you all about your current ram, including how many slots you have and what is
currently installed.

Go to the Crucial web site (www.crucial.com) and use their memory selecter
tool, which will show you the exact specifications for the memory needed by
your computer.

i've downloaded it but dont know which bit it is,
is it the Memory Bus Properties ? under that bit it says

Real Clock 133 MHz
Effective Clock 133 MHz

under Processor Properties its got

External Clock 133 MHz
Maximum Clock 1800 MHz
Current Clock 1467 MHz


and the overclock bit has

CPU Speed:
CPU Clock 1469.67 MHz
CPU Multiplier 11.0x
CPU FSB 133.61 MHz (original: 133 MHz)
Memory Bus 133.61 MHz


and under SPD its got

Memory Type SDRAM
Memory Speed PC133 (133 MHz)

their the only things i could see that were about memory,

That's it but which 133 that will work on your computer is another
question. Go to www.crucial.com and take their memory test.

Alias

just done that and got his

Computer Manufacturer
Giga-Byte
Computer Model
GA-7VKMLS
CPU Manufacturer
AuthenticAMD
CPU Family
AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1700+
CPU Speed
1469 MHz
Front-Side Bus Speed
133 MHz
Currently Installed Memory
128 MB
Maximum Memory Capacity
1024MB
Total Number Of Memory Slots
2
Available Memory Slots
1

does that mean i can only use a 133MHz speed?

it just says 256mb and 512mb but only at 133MHz, foned up pc world and they
told me to just take the memory out of the pc and take it down to them and
they can sort it out, as i gave them the speed and the make of the pc etc..
but their system didnt recongise it,

If nothing else works Mand the best way to figure out what memory you have is
to look at the chips on the memory. Course you have to be able to open your
PC and get to it. There will usualy be 8 or 9 flat black chips with writing
on them. Each chip will have the same code on it. Look this number and letter
combination up on google and it will give you a idea of what the chip is.

We sometimes get customers bringing in unmarked memory. This is the best way
ive found to figure it out. Also the chip may very well be marked.

To help you out I looked up the manuale for this board. Its a DIMM board.
Considering that you have a 133 front side bus you will most likely want 3.3v
PC133 SDRAM.

If you have more questions just let us know.
