Hi I want to upgrade my memory! My motherboard Foxconn NF3250K8AA-ERS, only supports single channel memory, with 3 slots and 3GB Max. I currently have 512MB installed in 1 slot. I want to get as much and the best memory as possible, and in the right configuration. Or does this not matter with...

It wouldn't make a difference if you add 1 256MB stick to a computer that already has 1 128MB stick, rather than 2 more 128MB sticks , right? --------- I am the first and only one with a 16MB GeForce2 GTS graphics card! :smile:

I'm having problems getting my new KT7A/Duron 800MHz to boot. Basically it's powering everything up OK but the system is totally dead - nothing on monitor and no bleeps at all. Was thinking it was dead CPU (seems to be a lot lately). The only other thing is that I haven't got a keyboard to plug...

It's the only e-mail that people can get responses from, though not often. I e-mail them hate mail nearly every other day or so. This new threat against companies who try to dispute the patents, that rambus gained illegally in an open forum and is trying desperately to hold on to, is the most...

hi guys, i'm having a little trouble with my cd writer, seems it just won't burn a disk, buffer underruns even after i dedicate 128 mb of memory to the buffer. I accidentally installed the via bus mastering driver, but uninstalled it with the exe. This was happening before I did that though. Any...

I am running a 1 ghz Athlon system on a A7V with Windows ME. I was thinking about purchasing more memory, but I was told by a wannabe geek that my system would not benefit from any more than 256 MB I already have. Any truth to this?

For all intents and purposes are a 7970 1100/1500 and a 7950 1200/1500 exactly the same, or does memory clock need to be 100mhz higher as well? Apparently the 7950 just requires 100mhz more to make up for the lack of cores, but presumably this is only on the core clock?
