    Will this type of RAM work with my computer?
    « on: January 31, 2012, 03:13:12 PM »
    I have an HP Pavillion a1230n series with Windows XP and 1 Gb of RAM which came with the computer (so it's about 7 years old). I purchased a 2x1GB RAM kit from patriot memory. Here are the specs:

    When I use their memory selector, it gives me this:

    It isn't much different (2.5 vs. 3 CAS Latency and the K in the name). Will what I have work or do I need to get the kind they reccomend?

    PS- Don't tell me to go to crucial's scan thing. Thanks!

    Yes, it looks to be the right type. Don't get too caught up in the details. If it's the right type PC3200 and the comp supports that amount of it, then it should be fine.
