I have 256mb in slot no. 1 . Can I add 512mb in slot no. 2 without a problem. The memory capacity is 2048mb. Will these two slots with different card not effect the speed?

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to figure out how to hook up front usb to a new motherboard (lose wires), and since I don't want to fry my motherboard, was hoping someone might offer a second opinion. The motherboard is an ECS nForce3-A v1.0

This is the wiring info provided in the motherboard documentation:
Pin 1 USBPWR (Front Panel USB Power)
Pin 2 USBPWR (Front Panel USB Power)
Pin 3 USB_FP_P0- (Usb Port 0 Negative Signgnal)
Pin 4 USB_FP_p1- (Usb Port 1 Negative Signal)
Pin 5 USB_FP_P0+ (Usb Port 0 Positive Signal)
Pin 6 USB_FP_P1+ (USB Port 1 Positive Signal)
7 GND (Ground)
8 GND (Ground)
9 Key (No Pin)
10 NC (not Connected)

Here are the cables I have (all lose) and colors:
Power (Purple)
Power (Black)
D2- (Brown)
D3- (Blue)
D2+ (Red)
D3+ (Green)
GND (Light Brown)
GND (Yellow)

I was thinking of doing this:
Pin 1: Purple
Pin 2: Black
Pin 3: Brown
Pin 4: Blue
Pin 5: Red
Pin 6: Green
Pin 7: Light Brown
Pin 8: Yellow

Does that look right? Does the order of the power and ground ones matter ?(meaning could I need to put black on pin 1 and purple on pin 2 instead?) Also, What are the last two pins, are they needed for anything? Also, does it matter how you put in the pin.. meaning does the side of the pin with the writing on it need to be on top or does it not matter?

I understand it's my risk if I try to do anything and I blow up the computer.. thanks for your help.

David

I now live in the UK. It is a PC purchased in the US. We removed the power supply thinking we could just swap it out. We're now running it using a step down transformer with the original power supply. Any help would be appreciated.

I Have tried to upgrade RAM to 512MB but system does not boot. If I install 384MB (256 + 128) it works.NO problems with RAM. One of my friend suggested to upgrade the BIOS. My second question is, I can't find the serial number for the same. Is there any way to find it?

I need a quiet but powerful fan for cooling my computer (specifically for cooling the motherboard - attached to the case). What is it that I look for when buying a new fan? Amps? Wattage? Brand? Help!
