yeeeah i really need some more RAM and I heard you needed like a special slot thing if you want to buy some RAM and how exactly does this work!?
(The website where it shows info/products, etc for my computer was no help and i currently have lost my computer manual. Do i really need it? Someone said i should, but i'm not sure  )

Find a ram with FSB at or higher than your CPU FSB. You should probably get DDR too. 512 should be fine, though if you have some extra cash to blow get 1gb. PC3200 at 400MHz is the general standard.

The maximum difference between the two is a matter of a second or 2. If they could ever figure out how to have a computer use more than a GH of its processor at a time it might matter but now. |

You've obviously never played any good games or done any video editing have you? Why do you think there are servers that support up to 16GB of ram, yea, that's along with quad processors. If we could never use beyond 1ghz of our processor why do you think companies would even be wasting money on say a 3.8ghz P4 or the AMD fx-55? |

My dad is a computer programmer for UL, UnderWriters labs, the biggets product tester in the US. Hes only seen 5 PCs in the 8 years hes been working there ever reach more than 2 GHz during its testing. The reason companies put 3.8 GHz processors so they can take more money from the consumer. Normal wiring in a computer cant transfer more than 800 MB at a time, lets alone 3 GHz. Computer companies are resorting to now having to seperate computers within one so they can split the processors to allow for greater use of it. |
