weih guys. Got one stupid question here...


I'm using a Windows 32-bit now. And a 2GB RAM.

Is it adviseable to upgrade to 4GB RAM?? Since as far as I know... Vista / XP 32-bit will only detect up to 3.5GB. So will using 4GB gives any different... or perhaps it will makes my system goes awry??

my POV: we dont really need the 4gb ram as for now, XP only detect up to 3.5gb and actually 2gb is already enough for daily life

but if u thinking of getting another 2gb because the ram's price is getting higher, then go for it

so basically no noticeable difference but it is recommended

Then I think I will go for it

Thanks...

Noob Q here...

After browsing through the Garage Sales and Bulk Sales, i noticed that Pentium Core 2 Duo starts with Q is more expensive than the one starts with E. eg. e6600 vs Q6600..

May i know what the different btw these two coz e6600 has 1333 fsb which is higher than Q6600 with 1066 fsb but the latter is more expensive..

Thanks..

correct me if i'm wrong ... that e6600 is duo core and that q6600 is quad core .... which means two core processor and 4 core processor .... that what i know la... and of coz four core proc more expensive than two core ...

actually like dis..
my college is using wired LAN..
most stdnts used wired lan..
since my room is quite far from other room..
is it possible for me to used wireless router to reach them?

sorry if u dun understand.. noob here

Ok, thanks.. now i know the difference..

hmmm, dun ur room has access point for wired connection?
cos even if u buy wireless router, u still need a source cable to be plugged in for internet
i assume u want to connect to ur college network and frens using wireless?
as long as ur wireless router is connected to the network with a cable, u shouldn't have any problem connecting to ur frens

owh.. got it.. thnx..

another q comes here..

about proc..
wut is diff between brisbane, venice etc..
is it diff on quality or wut?

Brisbane is a dual core ( dua otak ) processor under the Athlon64 X2 model using socket AM2
Venice is earlier single core ( satu otak ) processor under the Athlon64 model socket 939

these names are the codenames to differentiate the "generation" ( can't think of another word )
model name are used by normal consumers .

Ok I got a supernoob question,my motherboard supports up to ddr2-800 rams.If just say if I were to put in DDR2-800 memory modules will it run at 400mhz or must I do something for it to run at 400mhz.What about ddr2-1066?

owh.. ok.. how bout orleans?

hello, 1 question here my mobo is Asus P4P800 SE
does it compatible with SATA2 harddisk?

if the mobo support SATA which means it'll support SATA2 as well?

thanks in advance

Orlean is single core processor under the Athlon64 model socket AM2
next time Google for more , OK ?


your mobo southbrige is ICH5R :

Intel is the world's first chipset maker to integrate Serial ATA (SATA) and RAID 0, 1 functions into the South Bridge. The latest ICH5R chipset now delivers 150MB/s fast data transfer (SATA) and striping performance to enhance computing efficiency.

you can make the SATA II hard disk to be compatible with your mobo by inserting a jumper ( refer to shopkeeper / owner manual )
this will limit your hard disk maximum speed (which will never reach ) from SATA II (300Mbit/s) to SATA I (150Mbit/s)
sounds like limit the speed to half but no worries because you can hardly to notice the different in normal usage .

oh yes, thanks bro
