DDR 400 Memory Question


Recommended Posts

Can anyone tell me what is the best Corsair DDR 400 Dual Channel memory that will work in the Intel D865GBF. The processor on the motherboard is a 3.0ghz p4 w/ht. I want the best performance possible and I was looking for either 4 x 512MB Chips or 4 x 1GB Chips. Either way they need to be dual channel compatible but if anyone could read the specs of the board and tell me what they would put in I would appreciate it. Also I do know that dual channel memory is sold usually in pairs.

for the Intel 865GBF i suggust you get the Corsair modules that end in "C2". Installing the most recent BIOS also will give you better memory compatibilty too and fix a bunch of bugs in that Motherboard. Visit the Intel site for the file.

1GB DDR400 Modules do not exist at this time. At the most right now you can install 2GB (4x512).

Get a Corsair TwinX Kit they have 2 matched memory modules in the package.

Corsair 2x256 Kits:

TwinX512-3200C2 XMS3200 512MB 2-3-3-7-T1 2x184 DIMM Black Heat Spreader

TwinX512-3200C2PT XMS3200 512MB 2-3-3-7-T1 2x184 DIMM Platinum Heat Spreader

Corsair 2x512 Kits:

TwinX1024-3200C2 XMS3200 1024MB 2-3-3-7-T1 2x184 DIMM Black Heat Spreader

TwinX1024-3200C2PT XMS3200 1024MB 2-3-3-7-T1 2x184 DIMM Platinum Heat Spreader

thanks, I just hope that memory is the right one because the reason I asked if the memory doesnt meet the specs the mobo causes blue screens.

Update the 865GBF's BIOS for the best memory compatibilty.

BIOS P09:

Yes. If you can afford them. go with the Pro model which has those nice LED's on them and the Black Heat Spreader.

it was the first link you gave.

    • I can't believe it was only two years since the last time MS raised their prices and now they think they can do it again so soon. Of course they needed to backtrack on this. I hope Nintendo is next.
    • I guess I gotta be even more specific then since I'm looking for an absolute confirmation.  The mini PC has never booted up or powered on by me. I'm assuming it'll be like buying a new PC from a store. Nothing is set up. Like absolutely nothing on the mini PC because I can't emphasize this enough. My USB drive already has Windows set up on it from my other desktop so I know it's clean. So now I connect it to the mini PC before it's even booted up or go to the desktop. I then turn on the mini PC and boot into the USB drive. I should see an existing partition. I'll delete it and then install Windows again over the entire drive. I don't necessarily want to create a separate partition. Once it installs and boots to the desktop, I'm assuming the drive is "clean" and free of any malware/viruses. Basically, this process will eliminate any potential for malware/viruses to still somehow hide in the SSD and then potentially affect me later.  I'm being very anal about this because I really don't trust anything bought from AliExpress, but the price was very tempting.  Is Windows Defender reliable? Afterwards, if I do a full scan and it doesn't find anything in the SSD and the USB drive, can I be confident the mini PC is now safe and secured to enter my banking credentials? If not, what else can I do to be absolutely certain?
    • I got an ESR Qi2 vent charger for my car and it's fantastic. It's very strong magnet and holds the phone securely over the worst potholes/roads, and my iPhone does charge. In Summer, the AC blows on the vent keeps and keeps the phone cold. In winter, I just close that vent, so it still stays cold. I agree with you on the Android front. Why not just build in the magnets like Apple does? It's frustrating to buy a case that adds magnets.
    • Hey, I've been using Windows since I was a little tyke. But for the last 15 years, I have been using Linux. I'm using EndeavourOS/Arch atm. wipe it, as in deleting anything from the SSD in the computer. Make a new partition. USB booting device should be free of malware, as long as you download it directly friom MS. Not some XYZ company.
    • "Nuking it" is slang for doing a clean install. USB installation media... delete the partition... start fresh.
