Hi guys im a newbie so please bear with me
I have a 6 yr old Maxx 4d desktop bought from Special Reserve
spec list from them as follows but they had to change machine shortly after purchase and replacement was upgrade on previous dont know if this list is for 1st or 2nd machine!
intel pentium 4 1.7
40 or 80 gb? think its 80
m/board either intel 815i or 850i or VIA KT133
256 ram made up of 2x 128mb 168 pin (Rimm pc800)or(Dimm pc33)
spec sheet lists both options (tech looked at them said not enough info on stickers think they were Samsung if that helps?)
heres the confusing bit
Ran online scan with Orcalogic which said i had 2x 128 mb Rimm cards plus 2 spare slots (which i have seen but look shorter than the 2 used.) and a capacity of 2 gb
However when i ran scan from Crucial that said i was at maxiumum ram. !
How do i find out for sure as Spacial Reserve has gone dont know who Maxx are etc.
can anyone help thanks.
