Gx280 Ht
DDR2 Upgrade on Small Form factor?
I have a Dell GX280 Small Form Factor with 1 GB DDR2 533MHZ (2 slots out of 2 taken). The online documentation says the Motherboard supports 400mhz and 533mhz DDR2 but doesn't mention DDR2 800mhz. Does this mean 800mhz is incompatible and I can only use 533mhz or is 800mhz just unlisted and is compatible. If it helps the motherboard is a Intel Grantsdale (915G) chipset. Also the manual lists that SATA drives are compatible, does this mean I can use SATA II or just regular SATA. The rest of the specs are: Intel Pentium 4 2.8GHZ HT and a 40 GB SATA. The computer was made around 2004. Thanks for looking!
Almost everything is backwards compatible. While I can't speak with authority on your system, if it were mine, I wouldn't hesitate to stick some DDR2/800 in it. Worst-case scenario, it just won't boot. What is the most likely to happen is that it will work fine, but will only operate at the MB's highest supported speed (533).
As far as the drives, SATAII will operate at "regular" SATA specs.
