If I use the m.2 slot on the board to add a Samsung 970 EVO 250 GB V-NAND M.2 PCIe SSD: Will it negatively affect the performance of the GPU at all? Can I use the new drive to boot Windows from? Thanks 🙂

Hello. Is it possible to add this particular NVMe SSD: Samsung 970 EVO 250 GB V-NAND M.2 PCIe SSD to my ASrock X99 Extreme4, using an add-in card adapter? With only my GPU [Geforce GTX 970] in one PCIe slot, what are the fastest speeds that the new SSD is likely to achieve? Will it negatively...

Hi. I have got myself a new PC and I have discovered that I cannot use the Ping or Tracert commands: they both timeout. Why is this? I have a hardware firewall and have tried to adjust its settings, but still can't get a Ping or Tracert response. Please help me to resolve this problem. Many...

Many thanks for the advice XMSYellowbeard.

Fair comment, but I couldn't see it referred to on the Kingston website for their DDR2-533MHz RAM (Kingston part: KVR533D2N4/512). Should all RAM for sale have the characteristic referred to?

How do I tell whether RAM on sale is of the PC4200 or PC5300 type?

Hello. I was wondering Shadow703793, what exactly did you mean by "it depends on your CPU"? I have an Intel core 2 duo E6550 processor; would this run DDR2-533MHz RAM (Kingston part: KVR533D2N4/512), or do I need to buy some faster memory? Please advise me on what the E6550 CPU requires as...

OK, thanks for the advice.

Finally, will DDR2-533MHz RAM run on a DDR2-800MHz motherboard (an ABIT IP35P)? Thanks.

It's an ABIT IP43.

Hello. Will DDR2-533MHz RAM run on a DDR2-800/667MHz motherboard? Can the memory be overclocked to match the speed of the motherboard, so meeting it's requirements? Thanks, Tim
