 |
|
A client has a white box computer, and I'm trying to see if we can add memory to it. Without completely disassembling this computer, I can see the following in rather large type on the motherboard: "Prescott 800" and "DDR 400".
Any idea of who the manufacturer of this mb is? And, how can I determine the maximum memory configuration? Any and all help is appreciated. |

Need more info.....any other markings on the board? Look on top of the parallel port or near the AGP slot for markings. Or post a pic. I'm sure the "Prescott 800" and "DDR 400" refer to the processor and memory respectively. Is this a socket 478 board? Running DDR400 I would suspect so.

Thanks!
I'm going to have to take it apart further to see anything more. Not a big problem... just time. I'll be back when I have more info. |

There are some diagnostics programs that can ID all features of a PC easily. One is called Everest Ultimate Diagnostics from http://www.lavalys.com/ and the other is PC Wizard from http://www.cpuid.com/pcwizard.php .
The Everest program has a free trial version, but some features are locked out. The PC Wizard is freeware, but the programmers would appreciate a donation.
The programs will display the mobo manufacturer, BIOS date, memory type/name and timings as well as provide links to drivers/Web sites of devices. There are even some basic memory tests in them. |
