Hi.

I am a bit out of the loop when it comes to ram these days. I was looking at getting this...
Corsair 2048MB PC6400 DDR2

MY moterboard is a asus A7S333

I currently have one stick of 512mb DDR 400

I don't think my board can handles faster then PC2700 anyways but I was thinking of getting this PC6400 so I have it when I upgrade to a new computer.

I am a little confused on the whole pin thing.. Can i use that PC6400 ram?

THanks

Your board uses DDR RAM you are listing DDR2 RAM. They are not interchangable. Go to Crucial.com and use thier memory configurator to see exactly what RAM WILL work. Don't plan on using any RAM from your current board in a new rig. DDR2 is pretty much standard now. DDR3 is coming. Don't ever plan on migrating things like RAM and CPUs.

Don't invest to much in that rig. I know because I have exactly the same thing. DDR memory is not cheap, maybe get one stick of 512mb for around $30.00. If you can get it for less, you doing good.
