Hardware - January 2007

I have a P2 266MHZ desktop, 64mb ram(2 x 32 mb). I wish to upgrade to 128 or 256mb. But how to tell what ram am i using? PC100 or PC133 eg? Or can i totally replace with a 256mb PC133ram and throw away the 64mb. Will it cause any system crash if different rams are installed. Thank you!

I have a client who wants to set up a three monitor set up. I'm familiar with dual monitors, but how does he set up three monitors? Does he need a new graphics card from ATI and/or Nvidia? thanks.

I have a dvd writer already installed in my PC... and i also have a spare cd writer lying with me.. i wanna install that too... well, i can easily fix it in but there's no extra IDE on the motherboard (there are two, one for the floppy and the other one is the primary...) I have a SATA hard drive so the dvd writer is connected to the primary.... but i see there's an ide port on the bus cable of the dvd writer... can i connect to that? and if i can then would i have to change setting (master/slave etc setting) on the cd writer.......

I use an LCD monitor hooked up through VGA and haven't really noticed any difference when compared to a monitor using DVI. Is this just my own perception or is there really very little difference between the Analog and Digital connections.

Heard Vista is 64 bit. Has it got varients of 32 bit? I saw Dell/HP saying 'vista ready' for their 32 bit powered laptop? Howz it Is it possible?

What about AMD Turion 64 X2. I think this can work with All Vista varients? I am right? Inputs regarding this are welcome .. ...

In that case if a person going for a system should prefer for AMD ... is this correct?

It seems that normal everyday functions that I do on my computer for example, I had powerDVD installed on my computer at the factory when the computer was specially built and I used it for one year and then suddenly without warning it doesn't work anymore, I even tried downloading a newer version of it and after two days that didn't work anymore either. That's just one of many, many things that go on with my computer. It's so fustrating.
