i gota 2x kingston rams ddr2 1gb each and they give 3 gb when i put them togeather ive tried placing 1 kingston and 1 patriot 1gb each and then they give 2 gb i was like wtf anyone got any ideas lol ?

[trulypaintball99]

@mikser6666 ITS BECASUE YOU CANT!!! mix diffrent RAM together lol

[GoBulbasourGo]

@trulypaintball99 Yes you can, You just can mix in the same channel, For example I have a 4gb 2133 in my slot 1 and 3, since there the same channel, but then i have 8gb 1600 in my 2 and 3, for a total of 24gb ram, Since i have 4x240 pin duel channel, But if you have a very advance mother board that supports quad channel all 4 sticks would have to be the same, and so on for hex channel, So all been said you just have to have the same type of ram in the same channel,

[trulypaintball99]

@GoBulbasourGo lol no i dont mean that. i mean a ddr3 ram with a ddr2 ram or even a ddr ram . if you mix one witht the other your ram will not function normaly or fully. there for the ram will get damaged or the motherboard might get damaged. so do not mix ddr3 ram with a ddr ram. but you can mix a 4g ram with a 3 g ram as long as its the same type

The best way to prevent Electrostatic is using Electrostatic Discharge Strap while working on PC component.

hahaha sounds good SDRAM is also esde-ram...nice work though good instructional.

WTF? Even if you buy ddr2 800mhz and put it on a 667mhz mobo, it WILL run, but at 667mhz.

[smrtspr]

it really doesnt matter what kind of hard drive you get to be completely honest. just make sure it is for a laptop and not a desktop. id go with a HDD and not an SSD tho
