Question, how reliable is "Ultra Ram". And, is it compatible with my motherboard? I was reading somewhere that a person had trouble with "Ultra" Ram in his Asus motherboard. Just wondering if it was coincidental.

The ram I want is...

Specifications

Memory Size 512MB

Memory Speed 400MHz PC3200

Memory CAS Latency 3

Memory Type DDR

Pins 184


My motherboard is, ASUS P4SD-VX. I can support the PC3200 ram, but, is it compatible statistically?

i had a old AMD XP 2400 CPU, do they slow down as they get old? i mean it's been like 2 years old, it has nothing to do with the programs coz i formatted that old PC and it's still running slower than before, mostly the menus shows up too slow and freezes, slow when opening programs.

The new card does not have a power cord and I am installing it so that I can run 2 monitors. If the new card does not work and I have disabled the onboard card how will I see what is going on to re enable the onboard card. I am totally freaked about disabling the onboard. I have gotten to the point of doing it and just can't make myself in fear of the inability to see what is going on....should I call the geeksquad?

I'm looking at purchasing a SATA HD enclosure (tray) for backup purposes. An important feature is for the drive to be hot-swappable. However, I don't have any RAID controller, just a SATA controller.

Is the RAID controller required for this hot-swap feature to work?

Assuming I have the available space, how many internal IDE hard drives can I install in my computer? What will each be called if I have 3 total (one primary and two secondary's) and how should the jumper switches be set? Is this common practice and is it advisable? If not, why not?
