Okay My Computer Nerds

I don't know anything about computers except how to use this (TA), use myspace, aol and download porn. now, i got all professional and bought 2 gb of ram for my computer in the form of 2x1gb DDR things

looking back, i think my computer said it only takes 1gb maximum. i tried to read up on this and they say there are ways around that. is that true? can someone tell me how? thanks.

If your computer has two memory slots try sticking them in there.

SWEEET!!!! ill try that! asshole.

If you have two slots that are both DDR, then there shouldn't be a problem.

How fast is your processor?

Hey Dirk...I know some people that can help you. What you should do is write your question down on a piece of paper, tape it to your head, then put a bullet through it.

I lied, I don't know anyone that can help you.

Ok Either that or maybe your computer needs a BIOS flash because the motherboard only supported 1GB at release but subsequent BIOS updates may have increased the amount of RAM your motherboard can handle. Did that make sense?

yea, that is a lot more helpful. and i get these bios flash's from the manufacturer? its just a small software utility right?

Yeah the motherboard has a small BIOS chip on it that stores all the information in needs, so you just download the new BIOS from the mobo manufacturer's website and follow the attatched instructions. That may or may not do the trick but you should flash your BIOS anyway to stay up to date.

What kind of motherboard do you have?

But what I meant by the first post is if you have 2 slots go ahead and stick them in there and see if you can boot. If you can see if it recognizes the memory. You can use programs like CPU-Z or Sandra to get the specs on your machine for verification.

Jesus how old is your computer? I haven't seen a motherboard that didn't support at least 2GB of RAM for sale for over 4 years now. Like, since before the nForce 2 chipset.

First thing to do is to put the memory in and see if it works. If the computer boots, check to see if the computer is recognizing the full 2GB. If it does, then you could be golden. However, if the system starts randomly locking up or crashing, or programs crashing/failing to run, there's a problem. Sometimes it's as simple as updating BIOS or increasing RAM voltage, or it could be the fact that you're trying to pair brand new technology with semi-incompatible years-old technology.

Regardless of if it works, upgrade your BIOS (latest BIOS should be available from your motherboard manufacturer's website, along with instructions).

The RAM size limitation could be chipset and/or socket dependant, and it's quite possible that the board doesn't support DDR memory. In that case you'll have to get a new motherboard in order to get it to work. That could also require a new CPU upgrade (or, I should say, it WILL require a new CPU upgrade unless your current motherboard is (AMD) Socket 939 or (Intel) Socket 748. It's almost impossible to find motherboards with the older sockets (for older CPU's like Athlon XP or Pentium 4)).

And in turn, that might require a new video card, depending on what you have right now and on what your new motherboard supports. Video cards are either AGP (older tech) or PCI-E (new/current tech) and they are not backwards-compatible nor will one even fit into the slot for the other.

More information about what you currently have would help. Run CPU-Z and SiSoft Sandra to get the specs on your hardware. If you know your motherboard socket, chipset, and manufacturer that would be especially helpful.

yea, i have a piece of shit running on pure hate.

its a 2.2 ghz.... i don't know anything about it. lemme see what i can find out

heres what it is....

CPU: Intel� Celeron� Processor 2.20GHz (w/128KB L2 cache & 400MHz FSB)
Operating System: Microsoft� Windows� XP Home Edition
Chipset: Intel 845GL chipset
Memory: 128MB DDR (PC2100)

wow... i upgraded my chipset's INF (or something like that). I guess thats like flashing the BIOS? anyways, it seems to be running a lot faster now. is that possible?

Seeing as this is my chance to help you out dirk, go fuck yourself.

yea, but it was still in the shape of a dildo

As opposed to that midget you plugged on thanksgiving? Everytime I see you I can't get the image of your sagging sphincter out of my head. It's disturbing.

disturbing? look at you! you're practically watering at the mouth.

Touche. The difference being that my mouth can be closed when it waters.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA

No thread escapes being hijacked.

close it around what?

EDIT: i went looking for a picture of a horse pen0r to add to this post, but i almost threw up at what i found. horse dick in google images is not a smart search.....

EDIT2: and packer, tell your mom to cut that shit out. i don't think the government or most religious organizations would approve of her new money making scheme.

i attempted to add 2 gigs of ram to my mobo and fried it

if yer not sure dirk, there's a place in woodlands, TX you can call by the name of neobox. they are pretty cool cats and will stay up all night talking to you about how to mod your computer, if thats what it takes. these fucks live for that. they smoke ganja and work on pc's... that's all i know

kinda like onstar... i used to call them when they first started (like 99) and they would talk to you for hours if you wanted them to. i dont think they do that anymore though.

Evident by the sharply decreasing lack of quality in your comebacks, I believe it's safe to say I won this round. Cumrag.
