I recenlty purchased a gt5032 system. Here's the basic specs:
Foxconn C51GU01 motherboard--
Four DDR DIMM slots
DDR 333/400 MHz dual channel
Max Memory 4 GB
Nforce 410
It currently has Nanya memory(nt512d64s8hc0g-5t) 2x512meg. pc3200/CL3
I tried to install 2 old sticks of Corsair xms3200(CMX256A-3200LL) with the Nanya, but it lowered the freq to 200 mhz instead of running @ the full 400 mhz. It also changed the CAS Latency to 2.5. When I install the Corsair by itself, they run @ 333....i think. I figured there's just an timing issue here. Unfortunately, I cannot tweak the settings in the BIOS since it's a Gateway and thus locked. I wish to upgrade to at least 2gig, preferably 3gig. So the questions is, am I stuck with memory that's CAS3 running @ 400mhz, and if so, what memory is recommended? I'm looking for decent cheap memory(2 gig kit). Specifically, brand and model or serial #(or at least the specs I should be looking for). I'd hate to purchase the incorrect memory. Any suggestions out there?

also...ddr or ddr2, does it matter?

Thx guys!
 
We have an entire forum dedicated to memory. Might want to try there. ;)
 
After searching the forums a bit, I'm unable to come to a solid conclusion on what to do about purchasing more RAM. Someone give me a shout if this is "off". ---- I plan on getting 2GB to add on to my current Sanya RAM. I'll be purchasing RAM that's pc3200 and CL3(1GBx2). Kick me in the head if this won't work.thx :p
