    Would AMD memory function on a g31m chipset?

    So without further ado, my motherboard is the "Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2L" (I don't know which rev, but I think it is around 2.1-2.3). Link below. I found a 2GB DDR2 Memory on eBay for only 3.5 euros. It is an AMD only memory though, but I have seen it working on limited Intel motherboards. My...

    Will Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2L support the Core Extreme X9100?

    I understand it is a stupid question, because according to Gigabyte's site, the MoBo seems to support every LGA 775 CPU that exists up until today. Although, when I looked at the compatible CPUs section for the specific motherboard, I didn't find the Core 2 Extreme X9100. Motherboard...

    Specs say that the J3 has NFC, but cannot find it!

    So I bought the Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) and while many reveiws said it comes with NFC and official specifications said so aswell, but my phone doesn't show any kind of NFC. I don't think they removed the NFC deature of the device because it was sealed. But why don't I find any signs of NFC? I...

    What tablet should I get? (Android)

    No I don't, but I've heard very good words for the Shield. Since it is made especially for hardcore gaming, I don't think you would have any problems with light games, browser etc. I will get the tablet maybe in the future, for now I am getting a phone :P

    What tablet should I get? (Android)

    nVidia Shield Tablet is the one for you maybe. It has amazing gaming performance on every game. It is around 360$ unless you want the K1 which is 199$. It has 2GB and 5mp just what you want. You can even stream games from your PC (of course if you have a good PC). EDIT: Just get the K1, it is...

    How much should i charge my laptop and should i leave it plugged in?

    Exactly! The battery management cannot only be in software programs. But there could be a circuit that does the job as well. Just like in tablets and smartphone. They're all in common since they all use lithium batteries.

    How much should i charge my laptop and should i leave it plugged in?

    I agree with the vendor and my laptop is like 7 years old! If there is a nice battery management inside then you're good to go with continuously plugged in.

    Can anybody explain with simple English what OEM actually is?

    Thanks alot. By missing accessories for example when I bought my Samsung Galaxy Pocket, it didn't have the hands free, while other stores had a Samsung hands free. So a retail package means it will have important accessories and OEM might not? I will also ask some shops as well since I am not so...

    how to use android phone as Computer Mic and speaker via bluetooth?

    I have searched and I could not find an app that can use your microphone and the speaker as PC hardware. However you could download 2 useful apps which can probably do the work you want. SoundWire (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.georgie.SoundWireFree) Can use your smartphone...

    Can anybody explain with simple English what OEM actually is?

    Yes I know the acronym but I want to know if: E.g. Samsung made the phone, Samsung made the accessories for it, so I will get exactly what Samsung has decided to put into the package?
