I checked the specs and it will only see 4 gb, thanks for the heads up. You recommend getting a new pair to ensure that they will work together? It's not recommended to mix brands? It's would be cheaper to buy (1) 2 gb stick to go along with my current stick. Is a faster speed available for...

OK, thanks. Newegg has a 4gb stick for $60 . Total of 6 GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220525 It wont match the current stick (brand, latency etc), does that matter? I would keep my 2 gb stick in and replace the 1 gb with the 4 gb. Thanks again! Jamie

I currently have an HP that has 3GB DDR2-800MHz dual channel SDRAM (1x2048,1x1024, both slots used up). I want to upgrade the memory. Can I use DDR3? Is it worth it? Or do I need to stick with DDR2? I won't be attempting to over clock them or anything, just plug and play (unless there's an...

I had the same problem and came across this Intel link: http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-022544.htm Basically what I ahd to do is switch from clone to single display mode. Hope this helps anyone! Jamie

According to this link, it should support the E8xxx CPU's http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01357110&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=3708937&lang=en Thanks! Jamie

Regarding a PC that has an Intel E2200 (2.2GHz), can that mobo accept an Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0GHz or a Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 3.0GHz with no problem? Both the processors are 3.0 GHz but with a few different specs. The E8400 looks as though it has the upper hand: E8400 LGA 775 65W...

How about the 3 or 4 Core Phenon processors? Should they work in a mobo that currently has a 5400+ Dual Core? Would I only see a performance boost if running 2 or 3 applications at the same and not 1? Any other light shed on this topic concerning more performance from an X2 5400 equipped mobo...

Thanks for the replies! Yes lunyone, I'd like to squeeze as much performance as possible. After reading thid review it sounded pretty good (although it a review by itself and not compard to the 5400): http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/amd_athlon_64_x2_6000/ Is the 5000+ a better processor...

Are the Athlon X2's interchangeable? More specifically, can an Athlon X2 Dual Core 6000 CPU be used in a computer that came with an Athlon X2 Dual Core 5400? Thanks! Jamie
