CHEAP Elixir RAM WILL IT WORK??

Hi

I just noticed this Ram what seems to look like a cheap performance boost. Can any body tell me if it will work with my 2 x 256 DDR (pc2700) Nanya RAM

256MB PC2700 Elixir DDR SDRAM £16

No reason why it shouldn't.

of course itll work, as long as you have a third ram slot :p

I had some elixir ram and I'm sure it came up as nanya tech ram in cpuz.I had 2x512mb and 3 x 256mb sticks and they worked no bother in my a7n8x mobo but they didnt really like my new nf7-s tho.They did what it said on the tin.They were pc3200 and not pc2700 like yours.You can only try m8...

Thanks for your help!

I thought i may of got probs by mixing 3 x 256mb, as i know that ram works better in pairs! Also what would happen if i mixed a pc3200 stick with 2 pc2700 sticks or even 1 x 512 stick with the 2 x 256?

Ram only works better in pairs if they are configured as dual channel ;)
Generally mixing sizes of ram is fine, its just the speed and timing of the ram which can cause problems.

I had 3x256mb and 1x512mb and 2x256mb sticks all working fine in my a7n8x m8.No probs at all.

..I may as well try it as its only £16 new, thats a quick bang for my bucks!

Any Negatives on the brand 'Elixir' ?
