The difference is 4 MHz (8 MHz effective). No way in the world you'd be able to tell the difference. Even in a benchmark designed specifically to test bandwidth. And you can mix and match them. The memory will get clocked at 667 Mhz...

64-bit Vista or not, the PCI devices still need memory addresses below the 4 GB boundary in order to do memory-mapped I/O. Because those memory addresses are reserved by things hanging off the PCI bus, they can not be used for system...

It's doubtful that the memory installation could have damaged the video card. If you followed good practices during the memory install (made sure you were at the same electrical potential as the computer, the laptop was unplugged and...

In general, you can't tell if the port is dual- or single-link just by looking at the pins on the dock's female connector. The connector has holes for all the pins, but that doesn't mean they're wired to anything. The connector on my...

First things first. Re installing DDR in a DDR2 slot--no you didn't. You couldn't have. DDR2 DIMMs have a different pinout than DDR and are keyed differently so that a user won't accidentally install a DDR2 DIMM into a DDR slot or vice...

The latency in nsec of DDR400 with a CAS of 3 is the same as DDR333 at CAS 2.5. So all the manufacturer has to do to get the module to run at 333@2.5 is write the setting into the SPD. I've never seen a DDR400 module of any type that...

The extra entry in boot.ini is the original OS image that was wiped-out during the installation of the second instance of Windows. When the Windows setup program sees that there's already a boot.ini entry, it just appends to that file....

Um, there's absolutely nothing in that program linked above that's going to speed up your computer. Seriously, tune the OS to improve web surfing? If the internet is slow, the problem is 1) your ISP or 2) the server you're currently...

Yes, if your CPU doesn't support the higher bus speed, the RAM will downclock itself to DDR2-4200 speeds.
