Greetings. I currently have a Gigabyte K7 Triton GA-7N400 motherboard with an AMD Athlon XP 2500+ Barton core CPU. I'm looking to upgrade to the biggest/best potential CPU that this motherboard can carry. I assume that since the box says that this motherboard "supports AMD Athlon XP processor", that it cannot support any more advanced processors such as the Athlon 64, or 64 FX etc. So, after a bit of research I came to the conclusion that the best CPU that AMD manufactured that's compatible with this motherboard (and that is still somewhat available) is the AMD Athlon XP 3200+ Barton core processor. I was checking the compatability section of the motherboard manual and apparently the 3200+ processor has a 400MHz FSB which is compatible with this processor too. So, my question to you is, is this processor compatible with my motherboard? :???:

In addition, I'd be looking to upgrade the RAM on my machine. At the moment it's stuck with a fairly cruddy 512MB of who knows what type of RAM. Once again, I checked the manual for compatability and I see that this motherboard can support Dual Channel DDR400 DIMM memory. On the computer warehouse website I was looking at, they have 1GB "sticks" of DDR400 DIMM memory for sale. I'm supposing that if I bought two of these and plugged them into alternate slots, that they would work. Is this the case? :???:

Sincerely, Jim.

BURN IT DOOOWWNNNNNNNN!
It depends on how much the Laptop can hold. If it's 1 GB, then all you would need to do is buy the the 1 GB RAM. From my experience, the 1 GB ram has two sticks, each of them are 512 MB. 512 x 2 = 1024 MB = 1 GB

Damnit man it's not a laptop! :P

Regarding RAM, surely if it can operate in duel channel mode and provided that there's enough power (and my PSU is 500W, so it's pretty beefy) then it could take any sized RAM you wanted to put in there, provided they're the DDR400 DIMM type. With the RAM I'm looking at, each stick of memory is 1GB, so two sticks (hence duel channel) would be 2GB of RAM.

EDIT: THIS is the product. As you can see one stick is 1GB so I'd need two, blah blah blah.

Anyway, the real issue is the processor. RAM is easy. Compatible processors are not imo.
