I was wondering if a pair of old 1GB RAM sticks will fit into my new computer?

Information I can find on the sticks are the following:

  • 1GB 1xR8 PC2 - 6400U - 666 - 12 - ZZ
  • Made In China
  • M378T2863EHS (Serial Code?) - CF7 0926
  • SAMSUNG

Any Help Would Be Gladly Accepted! edit: I only want to know so when I get my new computer, I don't waste time trying to fit new RAM sticks that will raise RAM to 10gb?

I'm sorry but it won't fit. M378T2863EHS is:

1GB 240p PC2-6400 CL6 8c 128x8 DDR2-800 1Rx8 1.8V UDIMM from Samsung

as seen in MemoryTen: http://www.memoryten.com/p/016631.htm

Your new PC has F2A88XM-DS2 motherboard from Gigabyte that suppports only DDR3 RAM: http://www.gigabyte.pl/products/page/mb/ga-f2a88xm-ds2rev_30/specs/

But don't worry, DDR2 is less efficent and more expensive type of RAM. That's why DDR3 took it place.

How old? RAMs have different pin layouts for different types so that an old type of RAM (say, DDR) won't fit a new slot such as your new computer's (DDR3).

Here's a large picture of some old and fairly contemporary computer components. Check the pin layouts of RAMs on the lower left. You may perhaps identify your old RAM.
